- The Madras High Court has ruled that educational institutions run by religious and linguistic minorities need not follow the rule of reservation with respect to the SCs, STs and OBCs.
- Article 15(5) of the Constitution was introduced through the 93rd amendment in 2005.
- It specifically excludes minority institutions while enabling the State Government to make special provisions by law for the advancement of any socially or educationally backward classes of citizens or for the SCs, STs and OBCs relating to their admission to educational institutions.
- Further, the definition of ‘private educational institution’ under Section 2(d) of the 2006 Act also excludes minority institutions established under Article 30(1) of the Constitution.
