N. Ammad vs The Manager, Emjay High School & Ors on 7 September, 1998
6. As far as the validity of the declaration of
minority status is concerned, this Court in N. Ammad
Vs. Manager, Emjay High School and Others, [(1998) 6
SCC 674], has held that the certificate of the
declaration of minority status is only a declaration
of an existing status. Therefore, there is no
question of availability of the status only from the
date of declaration. What is declared is a status
which was already in existence. Paras 12 and 13 of
the Judgment are quoted hereunder :-
