A 32-year-old Hindu moves to Gujarat High Court to convert in Islam as the Petitioner's application is pending from the last one year
A 32-year-old Hindu man, who has been wanting to convert to Islam, filed an application in the Gujarat High Court on Friday seeking a direction to authorities in Bharuch district to expedite the process as the petitioner’s application is pending for the last year.
Counsel M.T. Syed, who appeared on behalf of petitioner Jignesh Patel, informed the High Court on Thursday that the Bharuch Collector had been holding Patel’s application for more than a year, while a sub-divisional magistrate inquiry report in February 2020 gave a favourable opinion in this regard to allow the petitioner to convert to Islam.
Justice Bela Trivedi directed the District Collector to take a decision on Patel’s application as soon as possible well within eight weeks. Patel’s lawyer said, “The application for permission of the Collector in Bharuch has been pending for more than a year. The petition was filed to give directions to the collector for a decision on the application.”
