Gupta: if this test is to be applied what is the application
1. these are to be ascertained as per the doctrines of the religion. please keep aside the question of judicial review. this is adjudication on whether a particular practice is practised by individuals or denomination or whether its secular or religious-it will continue to arrive from time to time
Gupta: in this one case, they used t take out procession with Tandav dance and they were served with 144 notice and they challenged on grounds that they have religious right to perform it in public- this court held that it is a part of essential religious practice but not essential for you to perform in public
Gupta: I am addressing the application of essential religious practice. To save time, I have given a note
CJI: We have four Royal Judge from Supreme Court of Bhutan, Registrar General of Bhutan, Chief IT Officer of Supreme Court of Bhutan, Two Assistant Judges, and many other members from delegation of Supreme Court of Bhutan
