💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has overturned a High Court judgment that quashed Uttar Pradesh's Madarsa Education Act, 2004. The court allowed the state government to regulate madrasas that are funded or recognized, stating that the right of minorities to administer educational institutions is not absolute and the state has an interest in maintaining educational standards. The court also rejected the argument that state funding of minority institutions violates the principle of secularism.
