St. Anthony's Boys Secondary School, a Christian minority institution, challenged a Directorate of Education order stopping its staff recruitment and ordering surprise inspections of aided minority schools. The school argued appointments met prescribed qualifications and DoE had no power to interfere or withhold grant-in-aid. Delhi HC (Justice Jasmeet Singh) held Article 30(1) protects minority institutions' right to appoint staff; DoE may regulate only qualifications, experience and standards, not recruitment procedure, and no prior approval is needed. Relying on T.M.A. Pai Foundation v. State of Karnataka (2002), the Court quashed DoE's order and directed release of grant-in-aid for 19 employees within four weeks, subject to a pending Division Bench reference on DoE's 2014 marking scheme.
