ISSUE:
Whether or not Section 17 and Rule 27 are in infringement of Article 25 of the Constitution?
Is the bigamy law in contention to the Right to freedom of Religion promised by the Constitution?
RULE:
Rule 27 will be in force as long as the individual is under the employment roll of the State Government and shall have to obey the rules, for this, there is no remedy. Similarly, Article 25 provides citizens with the freedom of religion but at the same time also puts down the restrictions to such freedom. Also, Section 17 of the Hindu Marriage Act does not allow for bigamy keeping in mind public welfare and reform with respect to all religious institutions.
