Sr Adv: article 25 refers to practice of belief... ... Sabarimala Reference | Live Updates From Supreme Court 9-Judge Bench [Day 8]
Sr Adv: article 25 refers to practice of belief system by an individual. when same practice takes place as a group, it acquires the colour of the denomination. i am consciously not going into whether religion is a denomination.
article 25 uses religion and 26 uses denomination
CJI: article 26 also encapsulates religious affairs but article 25 talks of religious practices
Sr Adv: article 26 talks of denomination or a section thereof. that is also important. general understanding of what denomination is there may be a group of people who may not fall within that but they will still be a denomination
