CJI: I think the issue stands quite well debated. Part III is am embargo on article 25(1) on individual devotees rights that you exercise article 25(1) right, you have to respect Part III also. So far as social welfare or reforms are concerned, its a very wide term and the State is not a stranger or it is not an alien. State represents the will of the people and if the people want certain social evils to be reformed, probably that power can be exercised. But its very difficult for us to lay down any future guidance, it will always depend on case to case as to whether the reforms fall under article 25(2)(b) or it in the name of reforms it amounts to something which amounts to an infringment of a religious practice.
