Legal Principle: The Constitution guarantees of religion and expects the citizen to respect national anthem as a fundamental duty. Factual Situation: According to the religions tenets of a particular sect, singing the praise of any entity other than God is forbidden. The child, belonging to that sect, refuses to sing national anthem in the course of school assembly, in which every child must compulsorily participate. When the disciplinary action was instituted against the child, the parents challenged the school's order of singing the national anthem. (NLU DELHI 2011)
