Article 25 : Freedom of Religion However,it is a qualified right. Reasonable restrictions can be imposed based on 🎯 Public order 🎯 Morality 🎯 Public health 🎯 Subjected to other fundamental rights When some religious practices come in conflict with other’s fundamental rights, The state should impose restrictions. Then, the court devices the “essential religious practices”. The doctrine of “essentiality” was invented by ‘Shirur Mutt’ case in 1954. The court then took the responsibility of determining the essential practices of a religion upon itself.   It protects only such religious practices under fundamental rights, which are essential and integral to religion. Concern: The “essentially” is determined by The Judiciary. Here, the above article said, Judges should not become the clergy to determine purely theological issues and that a progressive nation such as India should not allow even an essential religious practice if the same is contrary to constitutional ethos and values. #Polity #GS2
