Supreme Court Issues Notice On Another Petition Filed By Teesta Setalvad's NGO CJP Challenging Anti-Conversion Laws Of 5 More States


On January 22, 2021, the Supreme Court issued a notice on a second petition filed by NGO Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), led by activist Teesta Setalvad, against the anti-conversion laws of five more states- Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand. 


The NGO had sought scrapping of the anti-conversion laws in these states claiming that they violate fundamental rights guaranteed by Articles 14 and 25 of the Indian Constitution.


In the petition, CJP stated that the anti-conversion laws are primarily used to target minority communities. They argued that these laws discriminate on the basis of religion and restrict one’s freedom of choice.


The petition further stated that the anti-conversion laws load the burden of proof on the accused and demanded that these laws be declared unconstitutional in order to protect the lives and personal liberties of individuals.


The Supreme Court has sought responses from the five states within four weeks. A similar petition was filed in April 2020 challenging the anti-conversion laws of Madhya Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, and Odisha.

OCI Rights: Supreme Court Urges 'Higher Echelons' To Examine 2021 MHA Notification Considering Impact On Indian Diaspora

  The Supreme Court of India has called on “higher echelons” – the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Cabinet of Ministers – to review the 2021 MHA Notification and consider its impact on the Indian diaspora. The notification allowed for the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders to be granted the same rights and privileges enjoyed by Indian citizens across various fields such as career opportunities, education, medical, and self-employment. The court argued that it was important for the government to consider the implications of the notification for members of the Indian diaspora, noting that OCI cardholders wouldn’t be in a position to take advantage of the full range of opportunities available to citizens of India. The Court also asked the government to consider specific measures to ensure that OCI cardholders receive equal treatment in comparison to Indian citizens when it comes to finding employment.
