India’s Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Rajasthan government over a petition challenging the constitutional validity of the state’s new anti-conversion law, which critics say violates fundamental rights and enables “punitive demolitions and collective punishment.” The notice, issued Nov. 3, came in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocate and researcher M. Huzaifa and veteran human rights activist John Dayal. The court directed the state to respond within four weeks. The Rajasthan Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2025, took effect in September.
