Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) – The Allahabad High Court has refused to quash a criminal case recently filed against two Muslim class 12 students who are accused of trying to convert a Hindu student to Islam.
Such behaviour among youth is concerning
The Court noted that the allegations of forced conversion among the youth are particularly concerning. At such an age, students need to focus on developing their academic skills and serving the society and nation.
The purpose of the law is important
The Court observed that the ‘Uttar Pradesh (Prevention of Unlawful Conversions) Act, 2021’ has been enacted to curb the incidences of imposition of religion by some people on others in the society. If the implementation of this Act is stopped in advance, its very purpose will be defeated.
Be careful about false accusations
The Court also clarified that false allegations should not be encouraged under the new law; however, it is not right to stop cases based on solid evidence at the outset.
