- The Supreme Court said that the right to receive Government Aid of an institution (whether a majority or minority institution) is not a fundamental right, but only a matter of policy.
- The Supreme Court also said that the grant of aid brings with it conditions that the institution receiving it is bound to comply with.
- If an institution does not want to accept the conditions, it can decline the grant but cannot say that the grant must be on its own terms.
- It said if the government made a policy call to withdraw aid, an institution cannot question the decision as a “matter of right”.
- As per Article 30 (2), the state shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.
