Final Orders / Judgements
The Sub Judge Court in Srinagar granted a declaration that four family members (Ashish Gupta, Anju Gupta, Mehak Gupta, and Harsh Gupta) are Muslims with Islamic names (Abdul Wahied, Shameem Akhter, Mehak Sheikh, and Hamza Sheikh respectively), and issued a mandatory injunction ordering government authorities to update official records to reflect their religious conversion and name changes, which they had practiced for 16 years since 2009. The court upheld their constitutional right under Article 25 to freely profess and practice religion, finding no factual or legal reason to deny relief where the conversion was genuine and uncontested. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
