New Delhi: In a closely split 4:3 decision, the Supreme Court has overruled its earlier ruling in Azeez Basha v. Union of India, with a majority holding that the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) should be assessed under new criteria established in the present case.
The seven-judge Constitution Bench, headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, delivered this landmark judgement, with dissenting opinions from Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta, and SC Sharma.
The Chief Justice is set to form a new bench to evaluate the minority character of AMU and reassess the 2006 Allahabad High Court judgement, following the procedural steps outlined in this ruling.
