The Delhi High Court ruled that aided minority institutions do not require approval from the Directorate of Education (DoE) to appoint principals, teachers, or other staff. Justice C Hari Shankar emphasized that such institutions have the right to appoint personnel of their choice, with DoE's role limited to setting qualifications. The ruling came in response to a petition by the Delhi Tamil Education Association, which sought to fill vacant posts without DoE clearance, asserting their constitutional rights.
