#Article 30

The Bombay High Court has ruled that minority educational institutions under Article 30 may appoint qualified teachers without requiring a TET certificate, and rejection of appointments on procedural grounds-like failure to obtain prior permission or publish in a 'widely circulated' newspaper-is unlawful. This strengthens institutional autonomy and protects the right of minority-run schools to staff based on merit, not bureaucratic compliance.

The Calcutta High Court has ruled that technical lapses in minority school recruitment advertisements-such as missing phone numbers or vague post titles-cannot nullify otherwise valid selection panels, provided all statutory eligibility criteria are satisfied and no candidate is prejudiced. This affirms the autonomy of minority institutions under Article 30, reinforcing that annexures serve as guidelines, not rigid mandates, in administrative recruitment processes.

Bombay High Court holds that the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 does not apply to minority institutions, affirming Pramati precedent and quashing state staffing mandates.
