Indian Young Lawyers Association vs The State Of Kerala on 28 September, 2018
In Bijoe Emmanuel & Ors. v. State of Kerala & Ors. (supra), this Court
emphasised that for a religious practise to receive protection under
Article 25(1) it must be “genuinely”, and “conscientiously” held by
persons claiming such rights. This Court had noted that such
religious beliefs and practises must be consistently and not “idly”
held, and should not emanate out of “perversity”.
