16. In Fr. Anthony Mendonca a public trust registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act which was running a Christian minority school for giving education to Catholic children and others was called upon by the resolution of the State Government to implement Rule 57.4 of the Secondary Schools Code brought into force from 1979. The effect of the regulation was to require the managements of aided secondary school to make certain reservations in favour of backward classes. The learned Single Judge took the view that Article 30(1) guarantees the right of minorities to administer their educational institutions. The selection and appointment of teaching and non-teaching staff thereof is an important ingredient of the administration. The State can regulate the educational qualifications of teaching staff to ensure the high standard of the education imparted, but the amended rule and the circular are not regulatory in character but impinge upon the administrative autonomy guaranteed by Article 30(1). The learned Judge was, therefore, of the opinion, that the restriction was not valid even though the minority educational institution was aided. In this view of the matter, the learned Single Judge struck down the resolution in its application to the minority institution as infringing Article 30(1) of the Constitution.
