8. As referred above, institution in question is established by a minority community and is runned by them also. Object of the society is to encourage teaching of Jain community and it does not 4 bar other students to get admission, therefore, the reasons assigned while granting certificate that the amended Memorandum of Association of the society clearly reflects that beneficiary of the petitioner institution are the members of Jain community as well as that the institution in question was established with the object to subserve the interest of Jain community are based on material.

9. It would be relevant to quote para 135 of Majority view in Aligarh Muslim University Vs. Naresh Agarwal, 2024 INSC 856 -: “136. The second indicia is the purpose for which the educational institution was established. Though it is not necessary that the educational institution must have been established only for the benefit of a religious or linguistic minority community, it must predominantly be for its benefit. It is not necessary that education must be provided in the language spoken by the minority or on the religion of the minority. For example, it is not necessary that an educational institution established for the Tamils in Uttar Pradesh must necessarily prescribe Tamil as the language of instruction. However, it must be proved that the institution was established for the benefit of the tamil-speaking community. This indicia could be proved by a reference to private communication or speeches about the necessity of establishing an educational institution for the community and a recognition of the educational difficulties faced by the community.”

10. Aforesaid reasons are based on basis of records and there was no document on record, which could contradict it, as well as above position of law also offers minority status of the respondent College institution, therefore, there is no reason to interfere with the grant of certificate of minority status to the respondent institution.

11. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Order Date: 18.2.2025 SB SANDEEP BHATTACHARYA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad

8. As referred above, institution in question is established by a minority community and is runned by them also. Object of the society is to encourage teaching of Jain community and it does not 4 bar other students to get admission, therefore, the reasons assigned while granting certificate that the amended Memorandum of Association of the society clearly reflects that beneficiary of the petitioner institution are the members of Jain community as well as that the institution in question was established with the object to subserve the interest of Jain community are based on material.

9. It would be relevant to quote para 135 of Majority view in Aligarh Muslim University Vs. Naresh Agarwal, 2024 INSC 856 -: “136. The second indicia is the purpose for which the educational institution was established. Though it is not necessary that the educational institution must have been established only for the benefit of a religious or linguistic minority community, it must predominantly be for its benefit. It is not necessary that education must be provided in the language spoken by the minority or on the religion of the minority. For example, it is not necessary that an educational institution established for the Tamils in Uttar Pradesh must necessarily prescribe Tamil as the language of instruction. However, it must be proved that the institution was established for the benefit of the tamil-speaking community. This indicia could be proved by a reference to private communication or speeches about the necessity of establishing an educational institution for the community and a recognition of the educational difficulties faced by the community.”

10. Aforesaid reasons are based on basis of records and there was no document on record, which could contradict it, as well as above position of law also offers minority status of the respondent College institution, therefore, there is no reason to interfere with the grant of certificate of minority status to the respondent institution.

11. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Order Date: 18.2.2025 SB SANDEEP BHATTACHARYA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
