Supreme Court upholds dismissal of Christian Army officer who refused to enter inner part of regimental temple for pooja
The Supreme Court on Tuesday (November 25, 2025) upheld the dismissal of a Christian Army officer who refused to enter the sanctum sanctorum of his regiment’s temple to perform pooja, saying that he had used his “personal understanding” of what his religion permits to break military discipline and, in the process, insulted his troops.
“Leaders have to lead by example. You insulted your troops. When a pastor, a leader of your faith, counselled you that it was alright, you should have left it at that. You were cantankerous… You cannot have your private understanding of what your religion permits. That too, in uniform,” Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, accompanied by Justice Joymalya Bagchi on the Bench, remarked.
