47. In the result, we hold that the Constitution
(Ninety-third Amendment) Act, 2005 inserting clause (5)
of Article 15 of the Constitution and the Constitution
(Eighty-Sixth Amendment) Act, 2002 inserting Article
21A of the Constitution do not alter the basic structure
or framework of the Constitution and are
constitutionally valid. We also hold that the 2009 Act is
not ultra vires Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. We,
however, hold that the 2009 Act insofar as it applies to
minority schools, aided or unaided, covered under
clause (1) of Article 30 of the Constitution is ultra vires
the Constitution. Accordingly, WP (C) No.1081 of 2013
filed on behalf of Muslim Minority Schools Managers'
Association is allowed and WP (C) Nos.416 of 2012, 152
of 2013, 60 of 2014, 95 of 2014, 106 of 2014, 128 of
2014, 144 of 2014, 145 of 2014, 160 of 2014 and 136
of 2014 filed on behalf of non-minority private unaided
educational institutions are dismissed. All I.As. stand
disposed of. The parties, however, shall bear their own
costs."
