  • The Allahabad high court on Friday quashed the judgment delivered by a single judge of the same HC on April 5, 2007, holding that Muslims in Uttar Pradesh were not a religious minority.
    
    Delivering this long-awaited verdict, a division bench of the high court held that Muslims were a ‘‘minority’’ by a notification dated October 23, 1993, and that nobody challenged either the validity of any provision of the National Minorities Commission Act (1992) or the said notification issued under Section 2(c) of the said Act notifying Muslims.
