The Aligarh Muslim University Act is an act of Indian Parliament enacted in 1920 by imperial legislation.[1] The Act was amended in 1951 in order to repeal sections on Islamic teachings.[2] The Act was amended in 1967 which was challenged in Azeez Basha case.[3] In 2005, the Allahabad High Court quashed the Aligarh Muslim University Amendment Act, 1981, as unconstitutional and declared that the AMU was not a minority institution. Therefore, the notification issued by the Human Resource Development Ministry in February permitting the university to reserve seats for Muslims in post-graduate medical courses was illegal.[4]
