NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to Centre and Rajasthan govt on plea challenging validity of the state’s anti-conversion law and sought response on a petition alleging that the law is only a tool for harassment of the minority communities and to create a chilling effect.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath & Sandeep Mehta agreed to hear the petition filed by ‘The Jaipur Catholic Welfare Society’ and tagged it with similar other petitions filed against anti-conversion law of other states. Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan and lawyer Amit Pai said that various provisions of Rajasthan Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act were violative of Constitution.“‘It is submitted that the structure of the Rajasthan Act is only to create fear in the minds of people and dissuade people from conversions…,” the petition said.
