The high court had accepted the school plea that it had the right to frame its own bi-laws in accordance with constitutional provisions and pointed to the apex court judgement in the case of PA Inamdar and Others vs State of Maharashtra.

The Supreme Court had held that neither any reservation policy nor any quota can be enforced by the state in a minority or non-minority institutions as they were free to admit students of their own choice including students of non-minority community and their own community from other states.

However, a bench headed by Justice R V Raveendran while adjourning the matter for March 30 asked the student to ascertain whether the school was government-aided or not.
