Supreme Court upholds validity of Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Act

By IBNS
Nov 5, 2024 ..

New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the validity of 2004 Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrasa Education Act, setting aside the Allahabad High Court's judgement, media reports said.


The judgement was passed by a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud.

The top court had earlier stayed Allahabad High Court order verdict.

The Allahabad High Court had in March struck down the Act saying it violated the principles of secularism.

The Act provides a legal framework for the Madrasa Education where religious education is offered along with curriculum of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).

The Uttar Pradesh government had told the top court that it views the law as constitutional and the Act need not be struck down entirely but favoured examination of the offending provisions.

CJI Chandrachud said as quoted by The Indian Express, "The state does have a vital interest even in ensuring standards in places of religious instruction. You interpret it that way. But to throw out the Act is to throw the baby out with the bathwater."
