Giri: In Dargah Committee, this hon'ble Court proceeded to strine a note of caution and observed that even practice of non-religious may have sprung from merely superstitious beliefs and in this sense maybe extraenous and unessential accretion to the religion itself.

the court therefore held that the protection must be confined to such religious practice that are integral part of it and no other and was pleased to further find that the protection under article 26 may have to be carefully scrutinised.
