On November 5, 2024, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Uttar Pradesh's Madarsa Act, a crucial decision that saved thousands of madrasas from potential closures. The Madarsa Education Board Act, 2004, was initially challenged in the Allahabad High Court, which deemed it unconstitutional, citing concerns over secularism and religious discrimination. However, the Supreme Court overruled this decision, affirming that the Act does not violate India's secular principles.
