Former judge S Muralidhar dubs laws against forced conversion 'anti-choice', claims it targets Dalits and minorities

Op India  

On 28th February this year, former judge S Muralidhar courted controversy by claiming that laws against deceitful and forced conversions are ‘anti-choice.’ He made the remarks during a panel discussion on anti-conversion laws in the country. S Muralidhar, who retired as the Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa, said, “These anti-conversion laws are not so much a law against forced conversions, but are laws against the freedom of choice.” “There is a presumption in all these laws that if a person belonging or born into a certain religion decides to embrace another religion, then such a decision must be due to some kind of intimidation,” he further claimed. They’ll have to first of all announce to the whole world…One can reasonably argue that after the Puttaswamy privacy judgement, this kind of a law should not withstand legal scrutiny because it straight away hits at the freedom of choice, freedom of privacy, choice of religion, of course but what goes along with religion.” S Muralidhar also objected to the fact that people other than the victim of forced conversion can also file complaints. When Justice S Muralidhar released Gautam Navlakha from house arrest In August 2018, the Pune Police arrested Gautam Navlakha and 4 other urban naxals in connection with the Bhima Koregaon violence. In November 2018, a Delhi High Court Bench comprising of Justice S Muralidhar set aside the order of a local court that granted transit remand to the Maharashtra police to shift Gautam Navlakha to Pune.
