All persons have a fundamental right to profess, practice and propagate religion under Article 25 of the Constitution of India. However, this right shall be subjected to the public order, morality and health, and any law enacted by state to regulate the secular activities associated with religious practices.

Direction: You have been given some passages followd by questions base...

Rationale: The question asks you to apply the idea of the passage to a given situation with the given principle of law. You have to assimilate the inference and look at the facts of the case and evaluate the answer choices.
Correct Answer is (b) The principle says that the right to religion shall be subjected to public order and also that the secular activities associated with the religious practices can be regulated by the state through law. In this case, the appeal by X was definitely to the effect of creating hatred between the people of religion Y and Z, which was against the public order. Also, the election was not an activity associated with any religious practice; and hence, the state was all empowered to regulate the speech in an election rally, which it already did by virtue of the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and the Representation of Peoples Act, 1951. Hence, there arises no occasion of the success of X in thwarting the prosecution against him in the court of law.
Incorrect Answers None of the other options sets out views that are consistent with those of the author in the passage above.
