Supreme Court upheld cancellation of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar University land lease, rejecting challenge by Samajwadi Party's Azam Khan.

The Supreme Court of India upheld the cancellation of a land lease for Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, rejecting a challenge from the overseeing trust led by Samajwadi Party's Azam Khan. The court agreed with the Uttar Pradesh government's assertion that the land, originally designated for a research institute, was misused for school operations. It instructed the government to ensure alternative educational arrangements for the affected 300 students.
