Act of Imperial Legislative Council of India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aligarh Muslim University Act was enacted in the year 1920 by the imperial legislation.[1] The Act was amended in 1951 in order to do away with the Islamic teachings.[2] The Act was amended in 1967 which was challenged in Azeez Basha case.[3] In 2005 Allahabad High Court quashed Aligarh Muslim University Amendment Act, 1981, was unconstitutional and that the AMU was not a minority institution and, therefore, the notification issued by the Human Resource Development Ministry in February, permitting the university to reserve seats for Muslims in post-graduate medical courses was illegal.[4]
