Supreme Court Seeks Responses on Chhattisgarh Anti-Conversion Law Challenge
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Union and Chhattisgarh governments regarding a petition challenging the constitutional validity of Chhattisgarh's anti-conversion law. Passed in March, the law aims to prevent religious conversions through force, inducement, fraud, or misrepresentation, prescribing penalties including life imprisonment for mass conversions. The court directed that this case be heard alongside similar challenges to laws in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The petitioner, Isai Adivasi Mahasabha, represents tribal Christians and has raised concerns about the law's provisions. The Supreme Court suggested the petitioner pursue the matter in the Chhattisgarh High Court, with a willingness to expedite the hearing there.
