A similar judgment was passed by the Kerala High Court in the case of A.M
Patroni v. Kesavan10 in which it was held that “any religious or linguistic
community which is less than 50% of the total population shall be
considered as a “minority”.
D.A.V College, Bathinda v. State of Punjab & Ors [11]
For the purpose of article 30(1) a community may constitute a minority
based on language, even though they may not have a separate script; it
would be enough if they have a separate spoken language.
Right to administer
The word “administers” under article 30(1) of the Constitution means the
right to manage and conduct the affairs of the institution. It is open to a
university to impose reasonable conditions upon a minority institution for
maintaining the requisite educational standard and efficiency like-
Qualifications of teachers to be appointed in the institution;
Conditions of service e.g the age of superannuation of teachers;
Qualifications for entry of students;
Courses of study (subject to special subjects which the institution may seek
to teach)
Hygiene and physical training of students.12
