Finalise Draft Rules Under Freedom Of Religion Act 1978 Within Six Months: Gauhati High Court To Arunachal Pradesh Govt

The Gauhati High Court is reviewing the constitutionality of the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act. The petition argues that the Act violates the fundamental right to freedom of religion by imposing restrictions on conversions. The state government contends that the Act prevents forced conversions, which have been a concern in the region. The court’s ruling will have significant implications for religious freedoms and anti-conversion laws in India, especially in tribal-dominated states.
