The Allahabad High Court has sought a response from the state government on public interest petitions seeking cancellation of the conversion ordinance brought to curb the incidents of Love Jihad. The court currently refused to impose an interim stay on the ordinance.
This order has been given by a division bench of Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Piyush Aggarwal while hearing the three PILs filed in the case. The petition has called for the repeal of the ordinance as not necessary. Describing the ordinance as important from the government, it was said that such an ordinance had become very necessary to maintain law and order. The court has given time till January 4 to the state government for its reply. The petitioners will then have to file a response affidavit in the next two days. The next hearing on the petitions will be held on January 7.
What is the conversion ordinance:
In this, for the conversion from one religion to another, the parties concerned will have to proclaim before the prescribed authority that this conversion is completely voluntary. The people concerned have to tell that there is no temptation or pressure of any kind anywhere on them. After the implementation of this landmark law of the Yogi government, now the change of girl's religion from one religion to another religion in Uttar Pradesh will bring such a marriage to zero category on the marriage done for the sole purpose.
Not only this, if the conversion is done by coercion or lying or any other fraudulent means, it will be considered as a crime and in the case of a crime of this non-bailable nature, it will be tried in the Court of First Class Magistrate. If convicted, the guilty will face a minimum sentence of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years, plus a minimum fine of Rs 15,000. If the case is about a minor woman, Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe woman, the convict will have to face imprisonment from 03 years to 10 years and a minimum fine of Rs 25,000.
