In Supreme Court Justice RF Nariman, while heading a PIL, made observations that; ‘I don’t see any reason why the person above the age of 18 years cannot choose their own religion”. He observes that the word “propagate” in the Indian Constitution is the essence of voluntary conversion.

Ashwani Upyayadhya filed the present petitions. He seeks relief to control the superstitious religious conversion through the black magic of SC/ST. The petitioner alleged that the cases of forceful conversion are increasing day by day in the country. And the victims of the forceful conversion are mainly the economically and socially backward people. Further, it is against articles 14, 21, and 25 of the Indian Constitution. It is against one of the main principles of the basic structure of the constitution i.e. Secularism. The government has failed to take any strong step for its prevention.

The court finds this PIL only a ‘Publicity interest Litigation’ and ‘harmful kind’. The Supreme Court warned the petitioner not to stretch the matter.

The petitioner withdraws the present petition.
