Supreme Court of India says courts must be careful before questioning religious beliefs of millions in the Sabarimala Temple Entry Case. Bench also warns religion cannot be diluted in the name of social reform and debates scope of judicial review.
The Muslim Personal Law Board told the Supreme Court that courts should not decide the “essential religious practices” of any religion. The 9-judge Bench will hear the Sabarimala review case from April 7, 2026, on the scope of religious freedom under Articles 25 and 26.
