The Supreme Court Today (May 16th) stayed criminal proceedings before a trial court in Uttar Pradesh over five FIRs lodged against the vice-chancellor of the Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS) and others for alleged illegal conversion of Hindus to Christianity.
In Uttar Pradesh, a 53-year-old lawsuit over the Badruddin Shah Dargah was dismissed, with the court ruling in favor of the Hindu party. The dispute, dating back to 1970, involved a contested site in Barnawa village, Baghpat, and highlighted the complex interplay of history, religion, and law in India. Civil judge Shivam Dwivedi directed the transfer of the site to the Hindu-defendants, citing the failure of the plaintiff to prove the case. The legal battle, involving claims related to religious significance and historical artifacts, ended with the court’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit.
