Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Both statements (1) & (2) are true. Article 27 says: " No person shall be compelled to pay any taxes, the proceeds of which are specially appropriated in payment of expenses for the promotion and maintenance of any particular religion or religious denomination."
petitioner Prafull Goradia had complained that through he was a Hindu, he had to pay direct or indirect taxes,part of which were utilized by the government to subsidize Haj, which was done by Muslims alone. Dismissing the petition, the Bench said; " In our opinion, if only a small part of any tax collected is utilised for providing some conveniences or facilities or concessions to any religious denomination, that would not be violative of Article 27 of the Constitution."
