On April 17, 2026, the Allahabad High Court, comprising Justices Tarun Saxena and J.J. Munir, decided not to quash an FIR against schoolgirls from Moradabad district, Uttar Pradesh. The FIR was filed under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, following allegations that the girls coerced a Hindu classmate into wearing a burkha and eating meat, actions interpreted as attempts at religious conversion. The petition was brought forth by a Class 12 student seeking to dismiss the charges against her and her friends, which were initiated based on a complaint from the brother of the affected classmate. This ruling highlights the ongoing legal discussions surrounding the anti-conversion law in Uttar Pradesh and its implications for individual rights and religious freedom.
