Mohammed Zubair Corporal No.781467-G vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of religious freedom in the context of military service, specifically regarding the right of an Airman to maintain a beard for religious reasons. The Court examined the legality of the Air Force's policy prohibiting beards, referencing Regulation 425(b) of the Air Force Regulations and the Air Force Rules, 1969. The Court ultimately upheld the dismissal of the Appellant's writ petition, affirming the Air Force's authority to enforce uniformity among personnel, thus ruling against the Appellant's claim for religious accommodation.
