Freedom of religion doesn't include right to convert others: Allahabad high court

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 10 July 2024
The Allahabad High Court denies bail to an individual accused of religious conversions, emphasizing that the right to freedom of religion does not extend to converting others. The court cited the 2021 law prohibiting unlawful conversion and highlighted the constitutional right to profess, practice, and propagate one's religion. The case involves allegations of persuading individuals to convert to Christianity in exchange for benefits, leading to legal action. The court's decision reflects the importance of upholding religious freedom while preventing coercive conversions.
