The Supreme Court (SC) has reserved its verdict on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). This decision comes after the Centre informed the SC that AMU cannot be considered a minority institution.

The issue of AMU's minority status has been a contentious one, with various parties weighing in on both sides of the argument. The final decision from the SC will have far-reaching implications for the university and its students.

This development follows a 1967 order that denied AMU minority status. The current bench, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Chandrachud, is revisiting this decision to determine the rightful status of the institution.

AMU has a rich history and plays a significant role in the education landscape of India. The outcome of this case will not only impact the institution itself but also set a precedent for similar cases in the future.
