Jain organisations argued before the Supreme Court that religious practices must be governed internally, and outsiders should not be allowed to challenge them.
In the ongoing Sabarimala reference case, Jain organisations made important submissions before the Supreme Court of India. They stressed that internal autonomy is essential for every religion, and only followers should have the right to question or reform their practices.
The organisations argued that allowing non-members of a religion to challenge its customs would undermine religious freedom guaranteed under Article 25 of the Constitution of India.
This submission comes in the broader context of the Sabarimala Temple Entry Case, where the Court is examining the extent to which courts can interfere in religious matters.
