Supreme Court questions limits of judicial scrutiny under Article 25 The Supreme Court heard arguments on whether religious practices, like the nudity of Digambar Jain sadhus, can be banned. The Travancore Devaswom Board argued that courts shouldn't judge core religious tenets, citing a Nepal SC ruling on Naga Sadhus. The board emphasized that a community's belief determines religious practice, not external adjudication. #Supreme_Court #Supreme #Court_heard #Court_questions #Digambar_Jain #Jain_sadhus #questions_limits #judicial_scrutiny #heard_arguments #Naga_Sadhus
Isha doing 'pious work': SC urges mediation to settle row over gas crematoriums The Supreme Court heard a plea challenging a gas crematorium at Isha Yoga Center, previously dismissed by the Madras High Court. The CJI called Isha's service "pious work" and suggested mediation for alternate land. Both parties agreed to negotiate an amicable settlement, with a retired judge appointed as mediator. #Supreme_Court #High_Court #Madras_High #Isha_Yoga #Yoga_Center #pious_work #Court_heard #previously_dismissed #gas_crematoriums #settle_row
