Konika Poddar vs St Stephens College & Ors. on 12 September, 2022
65. The Kerala High Court had observed therein that the ratio of T.M.A.
Pai Foundation v. State of Karnataka (supra) could not be resorted to for
buttressing the submission that a right had been conferred under Article 30(1)
to the denominations spoken of in Article 26, and there could be no
telescoping of the rights under Article 30(1), by reference to Article 26. Thus,
any conferment of protection to a denomination within a minority religion, in
exclusion of the community itself would be in contravention of the equal
protection available to the other members of the minority religion.
