SG Mehta- the majority definition was followed in... ... Sabarimala Reference : Live Updates From Supreme Court 9-Judge Bench [Day 2]

SG Mehta- the majority definition was followed in sabarimala and in my respectful submission, it is an incorrect definition of denomination-

The words "religious denomination" in Article 26

of the Constitution must take their colour from the word

'religion' andif this be so, the expression "religious

denomination" must also satisfy three conditions:

(i) It must be a collection of individuals who has a

system of beliefs or doctrine which they regard as

conducive totheir spiritual well-being, that is,

a common faith;

(ii) Common organisation: and

(iii)Designation by a distinctive name
