Governance of Religious Institutions

Why it matters

• Balances the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion with the state's obligation to ensure public order, morality, and health.
• Addresses the need for transparency and accountability in the management of large-scale public donations and assets held by religious trusts.
• Highlights the complex legal intersection between secular administration and the protection of essential religious practices.
• Ensures the equitable distribution and maintenance of religious heritage sites and charitable resources.

How it is asked

Focus on the constitutional validity of state intervention under Articles 25 and 26, the doctrine of essential religious practices, and the balance between secular management of temporal affairs versus spiritual autonomy.
