Practice of religion subject to morality: HC as it disallows Chhath Puja at Girgaon Chowpatty

The Bombay High Court has declined immediate relief to Mithila Chhath Puja Sangh to organise Chhath Puja at Girgaon Chowpatty on November 15 and 16. "Undoubtedly, there is a freedom of conscience, and free profession, practice and propagation of religion. However, the same is subject to public order, morality and health, as provided in the constitutional provision," the court remarked.
