The learned Attorney General is, no doubt, right in his submission that on the decision of this Court in the 551 Mulki Temple case (Venkataramana Devaru vs State of Mysore(1), the right guaranteed under article 26(b) is subject to a law protected by article 25(2)(b) The question then before the Court related to the validity of a law which threw open all public temples, even those belonging to "a religious denomination" to "every community of Hindus including 'untouchable ' " and it was held that, notwithstanding that the exclusion of these communities from worship in such a temple was an essential part of the "practice of religion" of the denomination, the constitutionality of the law was saved by the second part of the provision in article 25(2)(b) reading: "the throwing open of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and section of Hindus".
