In a recent pronouncement, the Allahabad High Court affirmed that individuals in India possess the liberty to select and alter their religion, provided they adhere to legal protocols. Justice Prashant Kumar's bench emphasized the necessity of credible evidence demonstrating the desire for religious conversion, followed by overt actions to effectuate such intentions. The court delineated a meticulous procedure for religious conversion, highlighting the significance of legal formalities and public scrutiny. It mandated the preparation of an affidavit as a prerequisite for religion change, followed by the publication of a newspaper advertisement in an area with extensive readership. This advertisement serves to solicit public input, guarding against fraudulent or unlawful conversions. Additionally, the court mandated notification in the National Gazette, an official online record issued by the Central Government of India. This process involves close scrutiny by relevant authorities to ensure compliance with all requirements before publishing the religion change application in the e-Gazette. The court's directives aim to streamline the process of religious conversion while safeguarding against illegal practices and ensuring transparency through public scrutiny.
