Court's clarification on cultural norms
The petitioners wanted a national holiday to honor Guru Gobind Singh Ji's legacy, but the Court clarified its job is to protect fundamental rights, not set cultural norms.
They pointed out that India's states can decide their own holidays based on local needs, and not every religious event has to be recognized with a day off.
