Court Decision Summary The court rejected the bail petition of the accused under the UP Anti-Conversion Law, 2021. The judge found credible prima facie evidence that the accused coerced a 17-year-old Hindu girl into religious conversion and marriage through threats and inducements, with assistance from his mother and others. The court determined there was no sufficient basis for granting bail given the serious nature of the offense and the established facts of the case.
