Lucknow, Nov 4 (UNI) The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has imposed RS. 75, 000 cost on the State of Uttar Pradesh for a man jailed in a false anti-conversion case.
The court also quashed an FIR registered under the UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, against five persons accused of luring a Hindu woman to get converted. The court slammed the police action as 'vexatious' and ordered the authorities to pay Rs 50,000 to one of the men who had to spend one-and-a-half months in jail.
This order was passed by a division bench of justice Abdul Moin and justice Babita Rani on October 30 on the petition filed by Umed aka Ubaid Kha and others. The petitioners sought directives to quash an FIR lodged against them in the police station, Matera in Bahraich district, under Section 140 (1) B.N.S and also sought stay on their arrest in this case.
