Constitutional Challenge to Unnotified Legislation Dismissed as Premature | Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Bill, 2026 : CGHC

The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging the Freedom of Religion Bill, 2026, holding that constitutional challenges cannot be mounted against legislation that has not been notified or come into force. This reinforces the doctrine that only operative laws can trigger judicial review under Article 226, protecting legislative processes from speculative litigation.
