<h1>Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind Halal Trust challenges ban on halal certification of non-meat products, citing religious freedom under Articles 25 and 26.</h1> The Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind Halal Trust has contested the Centre's stance in the Supreme Court regarding halal certification of non-meat products like iron bars and cement, labeling it as 'vexatious and scandalous.' The trust argues that halal certification is tied to religious beliefs protected under Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution, which guarantee religious freedom and management of religious affairs. The trust denies issuing halal certifications for non-meat products and emphasizes the individual's right to choose food components. It also highlights the relevance of halal certification in international trade and commerce. The issue involves a notification banning halal-certified food products in Uttar Pradesh, except for exports, and will be addressed in court in late March.
