HC grants bail to 4 accused in first case filed under Gujarat's new anti-conversion law

The Gujarat High Court granted bail to all four people currently imprisoned in the state's first case filed under the new anti-conversion law on Wednesday.

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday granted bail as an interim relief to all four persons currently in jail in the first case filed in the state under an amended Act that penalises forcible or fraudulent religious conversion through marriage.

The case involving an inter-faith couple was filed in Vadodara under the amended Gujarat Religious Freedom Act and the interim relief granted by the court to the four, including the main accused, will be pending the disposal of a petition filed by them seeking quashing of the FIR against them.
