In All India Shiromani Singh Sabha v. Union of India, the Supreme Court of India held that Article 25 does not grant a fundamental right to demand declaration of a public holiday on religious occasions. The petitioner sought nationwide recognition of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Prakash Parv as a gazetted holiday, citing religious significance and equality. The Court clarified that Article 25 (freedom of religion) protects the right to profess, practice, and propagate religion, but does not impose a duty on the State to declare public holidays. It emphasized that public holiday declaration is a policy matter, falling under executive discretion, and courts cannot interfere unless there is a clear constitutional violation. The judgment reinforces the doctrine of separation of powers, limiting judicial intervention in administrative decisions. It also highlights the balance between religious freedom and governance, noting that excessive holidays may affect productivity and administrative efficiency.
