The Allahabad High Court has reprimanded the Prayagraj district administration for conducting unwarranted police inquiries into a Muslim man's conversion to Hinduism under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021. A division bench led by Justice Ajit Kumar and Justice Indrajeet Shukla ordered the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) to put a hold on the rejection of the conversion application. The court noted that the inquiries were initiated due to a criminal case filed by the petitioner's Hindu father-in-law, who opposed his daughter's marriage to the petitioner. The court directed the ADM to reassess the application, considering prior police reports that confirmed the conversion was voluntary. The petitioner, an assistant professor at Allahabad University, had declared his intent to convert in January 2022, with the conversion rituals performed in March 2022. Despite two police reports supporting the conversion, the ADM rejected the application based on a later report linked to the criminal case. The court's ruling allows the couple to live together without interference from authorities, emphasizing their right to do so with dignity.
