SG : that's not my case, I'm just trying to show... ... Aligarh Muslim University Minority Status : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing [Day 4]

SG : that's not my case, I'm just trying to show how historically you surrendered while others did not. others also had the option of surrendering their rights as a denominational institution .....but they continued their existence de hors the govt. No article 30 (1) in existence, you could have surrendered , you could have stuck to your ground. Vishwa Bharati stuck to its ground

CJI : so they continued to award degrees which were not recognized by the then govt.

SG : yes, when India became free and subsequently when UGC Act all the institutions which continued their denominational character were recognized as either universities/ deemed universities
