In a major decision Allahabad Highcourt ruled out that UP Muslims can't be treated as religious minorities. In a verdict delivered by Justice SN Srivastava, he state that the community accounts for 18.5 % of state population and in few cities it is about 50 % of the total population. The ruling was given on a writ petition filed by the Anjuman Madarsa Noorul Islam Dehra Kain, a madrassa in Ghazipur district, which challenged out-of-turn grant-in-aid to certain other minority institutions.
Meanwhile tha state govt. decides to challenge this order. Rakesh Dwivedi, who has fought many a court battle for the state government, said, “The judgment has no meaning and will be quashed as it runs contrary to the law laid down by the Supreme Court’s eleven-judge bench that defined the status of minorities under the Constitution.”
