Well, the coronavirus has robbed us of sports discussions, so let us re-engage in this.jayakris wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 8:03 pm But the court doesn't show the decency that I show to them. When the matter is sub-judice, and right after they had heard the review petitions (but not given their verdict on them), just last week, justice Chandrachud of the 5-member bench went to a couple of legal conferecnes and gave speeches that pointed out the Sabarimala ruling as an achievement of 2018 by the SC that paves for women's equality. Shouldn't he know that he is required to be impartial at least till his own final word is given on the matter and when other judges are yet to vote? If he wanted this case to be used for social activism and even says it when it is still sub-judice, shouldn't he recuse himself?
We have nothing short of a breakdown of the basic principles of justice occurring right in front of our eyes, and we can't do anything about it.
Even considering that states are allowed this, in what world can they have a discriminatory law, Hindu Religious and charitable endowment act to administer places of worship of one religious denominations like TN and other states are doing?It further provides that this article shall not affect any existing law and shall not prevent the state from making any law relating to:
Regulation or restriction of any economic, financial, political, or any secular activity associated with religious practice.
Providing social welfare and reform.
In M Siddiq (D) Thr. Lrs v. Mahant Suresh Das Supreme Court held that the State has the sovereign or prerogative power to acquire the property. The state also has the power to acquire places of worship such as mosque, church, temple, etc and the acquisition of places of worship per se is not violative of Articles 25 and 26. However, the acquisition of place of worship which is significant and essential for the religion and if the extinction of such place breaches their (persons belonging to that religion) right to practice religion then the acquisition of such places cannot be permitted.
