![[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)
The Supreme Court will announce its judgment on November 8 about Aligarh Muslim University’s minority status. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal argued that questioning this status may threaten India’s secular nature. He emphasized that AMU’s administration does not require a majority of Muslims or Christians to retain its minority classification, highlighting historical and legal context.
The recent discussion on the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in Delhi raised concerns about its potential misuse if the current Government returns to power. Senior advocates emphasized the perilous state of civil liberties in India and highlighted arbitrary detentions under UAPA. There is an urgent need for judicial independence and adherence to constitutional rights.
