SC Adjourns Plea Filed by 5 Woman Against Forced Sacramental Confessions in Church
FOLLOW US ON:
The Supreme Court Friday adjourned by three weeks a plea challenging allegedly forced practice of sacramental confessions in the Church. The top court was hearing a plea by five women stating that forcing compulsory practice on a believer was violative of the fundamental right to freedom of religion under Article 25 of the Constitution.
The plea has arrayed Union of India and Kerala as parties in the case. A bench comprising Chief Justice S A Bobde, S A Bopanna and V Subramanian deferred the matter after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi sought more time.
