![[BREAKING] "Statutory Creation Doesn't Nullify Minority Status Of AMU': Supreme Court](https://i0.wp.com/lawchakra.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AMU.jpeg?resize=447%2C367&ssl=1)
In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, overturned the 1967 Azeez Basha decision, affirming that statutory incorporation does not negate an institution’s minority status. The Court emphasized the founders’ identity and intent, stating that AMU’s status requires examination of its establishment by minority community members.
Calls for the removal of Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud today have sparked widespread debate over a recent Supreme Court decision concerning reservations. The controversy surrounds the inclusion of a creamy layer provision within SC/ST reservations, leading to intense reactions and calls for the CJI’s removal, despite his term ending soon.
