ISSUE:
Whether the Gujarat university had the right to mandate Gujarati and/or Hindi as the only medium of instruction and exams in affiliated colleges under the Gujarat University Act, 1949?
Whether the legislation was constitutionally valid in view of Entry 66 of List I of the Seventh Schedule?
RULE:
The Gujarat University Act of 1949 does not authorize the mandate of Gujarati or Hindi as exclusive mediums of instruction or examination.
The Act's provisions do not support the imposition of specific languages as sole mediums, indicating a lack of authority for such mandates.
State government regulations regarding education, governed by Entry 11 of List II, are subordinate to Parliament's authority under Entry 66 of List I, especially concerning higher education matters.
