India is a secular country; persons choosing to be non-religious should be rewarded: Kerala High Court
Justice VG Arun made the observation while considering a petition moved by several students who having passed Class XII had declared themselves as falling in the non-religious category while seeking college admission.
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday remarked that in a secular country like India, persons who make the conscious choice to declare themselves as non-religious must be commended [Nirupama Padmakumar & Ors. v State of Kerala & Ors.].
