#Statutory Recognition

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that universities cannot withhold recognition of college management committee elections merely because no observer was appointed, affirming that statutory recognition under Section 2(13) depends on the validity of the election process itself, not administrative oversight. This decision reinforces academic autonomy and protects institutional governance from arbitrary bureaucratic interference.

MP High Court affirms that Ayurvedic practitioners holding qualifications from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan (a non-recognized society) cannot legally practice post-1967, aligning with the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling. The judgment reinforces statutory compliance under the Ayurveda Act, 1970, impacting practitioners relying on unrecognized certifications.
