India A Secular Country, A Religious Group In Majority Can't Resist Other Community's Fundamental Right To Hold Religious Processions, Festivals: Madras High Court
"It is not healthy for a democratic nation if religious bigotry is tolerated. Intolerance of any kind, from any religious community, must be curtailed and outlawed "The Madras High Court recently made this observation. A dispute involving a long-standing dispute between Hindu and Muslim residents (in a village) over the conduct of certain Hindu festivals/Religious Procession was before the bench of Justice N. Kirubakaran and Justice P. Velumurugan.
"India is a secular country, and the fact that one religious community is the majority in a given area cannot be used to prevent other religious festivals or processions from passing through that area."

The Allahabad High Court recently ruled that using a candidate's criminal conviction as a juvenile to shape an opinion about his suitability for an appointment is arbitrary, unlawful, and unconstitutional under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution.

Retain States' Power To Identify SEBCs: Centre Seeks Review Of Supreme Court's Interpretation Of 102nd Constitution Amendment
The Central Government has filed a review petition challenging the Supreme Court's 5-judge bench decision that the 102nd Constitution Amendment removed state governments' ability to recognize and inform Socially and Economically Backward Classes (SEBCs).
On May 5, a Supreme Court constitution bench, while considering the constitutionality of the Maratha quota, ruled by a 3:2 majority that, following the 102nd Constitution Amendment, only the President has the power to inform SEBCs, and that states' power is limited to making recommendations.
The majority, comprising Justices L Nageswara Rao, Hemant Gupta, and S Ravindra Bhat, held that the consequence of the amendment was only related to the power of the Centre to identify SEBCs for the central list, while the minority, comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer, held that it was only related to the power of the Centre to identify SEBCs for the central list.
