'''S. N. Srivastava''' is an [[India]]n [[jurist]]. He ended his career as a member of the bench of the [[Allahabad]] [[High courts of India|High Court]].

He is particularly notable for two remarkable, though non-binding, pronouncements from the bench. The first, on 5 April 2007, was a ruling that [[Muslim]]s need not be granted minority status in [[Uttar Pradesh]]; although it was [[Stay of proceedings|stayed]] the very next day by a division bench of the court, it created considerable uproar.

The second was an observation on 30 August 2007, during the hearing of a property-related petition filed by a [[Varanasi]] priest. "As India has recognised its national flag, national anthem, national bird, national animal and national flower, the [[Bhagavad Gita]] may be considered the rashtriya [[dharma]] [[shastra]]."

The statement went on to claim that the Gita had "inspired those involved in the freedom struggle", and thus it was "the duty of every citizen of India under Article 51-a of the [[Constitution of India]], irrespective of caste, creed or religion, to follow dharma as propounded by the Gita."
