SC upholds Uttar Pradesh Madarsa Education Act, limits regulation of higher education degrees
New Delhi: Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act, 2004, on November 5, 2024, reversing the Allahabad High Court's earlier ruling that deemed it unconstitutional.
However, the Court declared that provisions of the Act regulating higher education degrees, specifically 'fazil' and 'kamil,' conflict with the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act, rendering those aspects unconstitutional.
A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Misra reviewed the case, which contested the High Court's decision from March 22 that struck down the Madarsa Act.

Govt asks Wikipedia why it should not be treated as publisher instead of intermediary
New Delhi (PTI): The Centre has written to Wikipedia noting numerous complaints of bias and inaccuracies in information provided by it, and asked why it should not be treated as a publisher instead of an intermediary, sources said on Tuesday.
The communication from the Information and Broadcasting ministry said there is a view that a small group exercises editorial control on its pages.
Wikipedia advertises itself as a free online encyclopedia where volunteers can create or edit pages on personalities, issues or various subjects.
The popular online source of information is embroiled in legal cases in India over alleged inaccurate and defamatory content provided by it.
