J Bagchi: i would understand you to mean that article 25(2)(b) is a narrow window of legislative competence vis a vis in accordance with law, qualifying clauses c and d of Article 26(1), management of property. That is any general law can interfere with the right of the denomination to hold and manage the property. but when it is impacting the affairs of religion, the legislative competence is to be proceeded to article 26(2)(b) that is social reform or welfare. so general law can't make an inroad.

so my next clarification is that the word is social reform and social welfare- will the state be understood to be within its limits if it says that its enforcing constitutional duties in enforcing a law or making a law within the ambit of social reform because the state has some constitutional duties envisaged under directive principles of state policy. it has the constitutional duties to enforce fundamental duties of the citizens. will these qualify for social reform legislations?
