Article 28 – Constitution of India – Notes

D.A.V. College v State of Punjab (1971)

• Section 4 of the Guru Nank University Act, which enjoined the State to make provisions for the study and research on the life of Guru Nanak, was questioned on the grounds that the University was maintained wholly out of State funds and therefore should not be instituting religious instruction.
• The Court taking an opposite view held that the Act enjoined the State to fund academic study of the life and teachings of Guru Nanak, not promote religious instruction. Held that the Act did not violate Article 28 as it did not encourage religious instruction or worship; it was wholly an academic study.
