Hence, interference with the right to excommunicate amounts to interference with the right of the community to manage its own affairs in matters of religion. As the Ex-communication Act invalidates excommunication on any ground whatsoever including religious grounds, it was in clear violation of the right of the Dawoodi Bohra community guaranteed under Article 26 (b) of the Constitution of India. The Court explained that a person who is ex-communicated by the community, will not be entitled to use the common property of the community and the burial\/cremation grounds of the community. In a sense, such a person will virtually become untouchable (being banished or ostracized) within the community, it will result in his civil death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2023\/02\/13\/ex-communication-dawoodi-bohra-right-to-religion-constitutional-morality-civil-death-untouchability-sabarimala-9-judge-bench-supreme-court-constitution-bench-legal-updates-research-knowledge-news\/\">READ MORE&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Matters Heard<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Karmanya Singh Sareen v.
