On March 8, 1996, the Supreme Court of Japan handed down a decision on the issue of education and freedom of religion — to the benefit of everyone in Japan. The court unanimously ruled that Kobe Municipal Industrial Technical College violated the law by expelling Kunihito Kobayashi for his refusal to participate in martial arts training.
अदालत ने सर्वसम्मति से यह फैसला सुनाया कि कोबे म्युनिसिपल इंडस्ट्रीयल टॆकनिकल कॉलेज ने कुनीहीटो कोबायाशी को कॉलेज से निकालकर कानून को तोड़ा है ।
