UP Madrasa Board Act constitutional agreement.
The Supreme Court, while giving a major decision on Tuesday, has declared the Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Board Act as constitutional. This law was passed by the state government in 2004 when Mulayam Singh Yadav was the Chief Minister. The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court had declared the UP Madarsa Board Act unconstitutional but the Supreme Court has overturned this decision. Let us know who is going to benefit from this decision of the Supreme Court.
What did the Supreme Court say?
Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has said that all the provisions of the UP Madrasa Act do not violate the fundamental rights or the basic structure of the Constitution. The court has declared it constitutional. The court said that the High Court made a mistake in believing that if this law violates secularism then it will be struck down.
Who will get the benefit?
A large number of students have got relief after the Supreme Court declared the UP Madrasa Act constitutional. This important decision of the court has provided relief to more than 16,000 madrasas running in Uttar Pradesh. These madrassas will continue to function in the state. This decision has also brought relief to about 17 lakh students studying in these madrassas. Let us tell you that earlier the Allahabad High Court had declared the UP Madarsa Board Act unconstitutional and ordered to enroll all the students in general schools.
No relief in these cases
The Supreme Court said in its decision (Fazil and Kamil) that except higher education, all the courses offered in Madarsa will be valid as before the decision of Allahabad High Court. The Supreme Court refused to recognize the degrees of Fazil and Kamil from the madrasa, saying that they were not recognized by the UGC.
