![[Religious Conversion Remarks Row] 'Inappropriate' Remarks Should Not be Used in Any Other Case": Supreme Court Expunges Allahabad High Court Ruling](https://i0.wp.com/lawchakra.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-2024-09-27T134843.255.png?resize=447%2C367&ssl=1)
The Supreme Court today (27th Sept) expunged remarks from the Allahabad High Court about potential religious conversion effects on India’s majority population, deeming them inappropriate. The Court emphasized that such general statements should not be referenced in other cases. The decision came while granting bail to an accused previously denied bail based on these remarks.
The Allahabad High Court rejected a bail plea under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, expressing concern that continued religious conversions could lead to the majority population becoming a minority. The court emphasized that while the Indian Constitution guarantees religious freedom, it doesn’t permit forced conversions. The accused’s bail was denied.
