Allahabad High Court: A Person Who Converts Another Is ‘Converter’

The Allahabad High Court has issued a significant statement on religious conversion, emphasizing that those involved in forced conversions will face consequences under the UP Anti-Conversion Law.

High Court’s Strong Stand on Forced Conversions

While hearing a case related to religious conversion, the High Court took a strict stance and denied bail to the accused, a religious leader named Maulana Mohammad Shane Alam. The single bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal made it clear that anyone involved in forced conversions—be it a Father, Karmakandi, Maulvi, or Mullah—will be held accountable under the UP Anti-Conversion Act. The court specified that if any person converts someone through force, fraud, misrepresentation, undue influence, coercion, or inducement, they will face legal consequences.

Case Details

The petitioner, Maulana Mohammad Shane Alam, allegedly forced a victim to convert to Islam and facilitated her marriage to a Muslim man. The court’s remarks highlight the stringent enforcement of the UP Anti-Conversion Law in cases of coerced conversions.
