SECTION - I

Note :

This section contains five (5) questions based on the following

paragraph. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30)
words and each carries five (5) marks.

( 5)

(5x5=25 )
The right under Article 30 of the constitution is not absolute. Any regulation framed in
the national interest must necessarily apply to all educational institutions, whether run
by the majority or the minority. Such a limitation must necessarily be read into Article
30. The right under Article 30 (1) cannot be such as to override the national interest or,
to prevent the government from framing regulations in that behalf. It is of course, true
that government regulations cannot destroy the minority character of the institutions
or make the right to establish and administer a mere illusion, but the right under Article
30 is not so absolute as to be above the law...... The Constitution in Part III does not
contain or give any absolute right. All rights conferred in Part III of the Constitution
are subject to at least other provisions of the said part. It is difficult to comprehend that
the framers of the constitution would have given such an absolute right to the religious
or linguistic minorities, which would enable them to establish and administer
educational institutions in a manner so as to be in a conflict with the other parts of the
constitution. It is difficult to accept that the establishment and administration of
educational institutions by the religious and linguistic minorities, no law of the land,
even the constitution, is to apply to them. Even though the words of Article 30 (1) are
unqualified. The supreme court has held that at least, certain other laws of the land
pertaining to health, morality and standards of education apply. The right under Article
30 (1) has, therefore, not even held to be absolute or above other provisions of the law.
By the same analogy, there is no reason why regulations or conditions concerning
generally, the welfare of students and teachers should not be made applicable in order
to provide a proper academic atmosphere as such provisions do not in any way interfere
with the right of administration or management under Article 30 (1)
