Article 25 | Police Ban on Cultural Rituals Without Evidence of Political Content Violates Freedom of Religion : Madurai HC
Madurai High Court quashes a police order banning 'Gramiya Themmangu Palsuvai Nigazhchigal' ritual, ruling that speculative fears of political content cannot override constitutional rights under Article 25 when a binding undertaking is provided. The court emphasizes that police powers cannot infringe on cultural practices absent concrete evidence of unlawful activity.
