GOVERNING BODY OF P.A.E.M.COLLEGE . vs STATE OF JHARKHAND . — C.A. No. 3070/2004

The Supreme Court disposed of the civil appeal on December 6, 2012, declining to examine the High Court's dismissal of P.A.E.M. College's petition challenging the State of Jharkhand's denial of minority institution status. Instead, the Court directed the college to approach the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (newly empowered under the 2004 Act) within six weeks for determination of its minority status, with status quo to be maintained until the Commission concludes proceedings. The related Civil Appeal No. 4186 and Writ Petition No. 560 were also disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
