The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed concern that frequent judicial intervention in religious matters could undermine India's civilisational identity, where faith remains deeply connected to society.
India's Supreme Court indicated on Wednesday that uniform guidelines on judicial intervention in faith and rights disputes are neither feasible nor desirable, preferring case-by-case assessments. The observation came during the seventh day of hearings on the Sabarimala Temple entry reference.

A nine-judge Supreme Court bench stated on Wednesday that courts cannot hollow out religion in the name of reform and logic may not be the right tool to examine faith and belief systems. The remarks came on the second day of hearing a reference from the 2018 Sabarimala judgment. The Centre disagreed on courts deciding religious practices as superstition.
