In Dr. M. Ismail Faruqui v. Union of India, the Supreme Court has considered the question of acquisition of religious place by the State. A temple, church or a mosque, etc., are essentially immovable properties and subject to protection under Article 25 and 26. Every immovable property is liable to be acquired. While offer of prayer or worship is a religious practice, its offering at every location where such prayers can be offered would not be a essential or integral part of such religious practice unless the place has a particular significance for that religion so as to form an essential or integral part thereof.
