Overview
- Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on Friday to the Rajasthan government on the PUCL-led plea.
- The petitioners contend provisions of the 2025 Act are arbitrary, unreasonable, illegal, and ultra vires, citing violations of Articles 14 and 21.
- Solicitor General Tushar Mehta noted similar cases are already before the court, and the bench ordered the plea to be tagged with them.
- The court has not granted interim relief and will consider requests to stay the law after state replies are filed.
- The Rajasthan law is part of a wider set of anti-conversion statutes under challenge from multiple states already pending before the Supreme Court.
