  • Subramanium: I take the position that article 26 is necessarily subject to articles 25(2)(a)&(b). That is the only way to read. Article 26 is not a standalone article which can survive without reference to articles 25(2) a and b. So a denominational temple can be subjected to a social reform law, a denominational temple can certainly be subjected to a law by which gates are open for all clases of hindu.

    J Sundresh: example how all denomintional temples would come under the purview of article 25(2)(b)

    Subramanium: public institution for worship can even mean denominational temples

    J Sundresh: could there be a denomitional temple which is not a public institution, it may be hindu but not public institution

    Subramanium: unless its a private temple dedicated to the members of a family

    J Sundresh: unless you define and tell us what is public character, can you say that every denomination would come under purview of article 25(2)(b)?
