Big news from the Supreme Court of India! On Friday, November 28, 2025, the highest court asked the Rajasthan Government to respond to a serious challenge against its new anti-conversion law, called the Rajasthan Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2025. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued a notice to the state government after a plea was filed by the Peoples Union For Civil Liberties and others. They too called the law "arbitrary, unreasonable, illegal and ultra vires" (which means beyond authority) the Constitution. The plea challenges some key parts of the law and says it violates important rights guaranteed by the Constitution, like Article 14, which promises equality before the law, and Article 21, which protects life and personal liberty. Senior advocate Sanjay Parikh spoke for the petitioners in court, while Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench that many similar cases are already pending before the Supreme Court and suggested this plea be tagged along with those. This is not the first time the Supreme Court is hearing about such laws. Back on November 3, 2025, the court had accepted two petitions against similar parts of the Rajasthan law. Even earlier, in September, the court had called for views from several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, and Karnataka. All these states had their own versions of anti-conversion laws, and people have filed petitions questioning their fairness and constitutionality. The Supreme Court has made it clear that they will consider whether to stop these laws temporarily, but only after all states reply with their stand. So, it’s like watching a big legal drama unfold across India, where civil liberties and state laws are clashing in the courtroom. Stay tuned, because this story is far from over. The fight over religious freedom and state control just got hotter, with the Supreme Court right at the heart of the action!
