Constitution of India , Art.25— No Caste No Religion - Prayer for grant of Certificate - Art. 25 guarantees freedom of religion to all individuals, by holding that every person has right to freely profess, practice and propagate their religion - Petitioner had declared that he intended to raise his children in casteless and religion free society - Only objection raised by Special Government Pleader that Tahsildars are not empowered with any Government Orders for issuance of such certificate - Submission was paradoxical, since three copies of such certificates were provided - Even otherwise, when there is Constitutional mandate under Art. 25, Revenue Authorities cannot wriggle out of this Constitutional obligation by quoting absence of any particular Rule or Government Order to that effect - Claim of petitioner to have himself and his family members certified by Government of not belonging to any caste or any religion is laudable claim, which in long run, would promote prohibition of caste based discrimination and also would be eye opener for like minded citizens - Accordingly, Government of Tamil Nadu was directed to pass necessary Government Orders, with specific instruction to Revenue Authorities to positively entertain applications seeking for grant of certificate of "No Caste No Religion" - Respondents were directed to entertain representation of petitioner and issue certificate accordingly.
