The Gujarat High Court on Thursday has observed that Ahmedabad civic authorities cannot prohibit street vendors of meat kebabs and other similar snacks from selling their products on the streets of the Gujarat city.

The legislation has stringent provisions against any individual or institution indulging in forcible religious conversion by marriage. The Gujarat High Court is hearing two petitions that have challenged the newly enacted amendment. What are the legal issues at stake?

The petitioners termed the Act as an invasion into personal autonomy, free choice, freedom of religion and unlawful discrimination and hence, violative of the fundamental rights under Articles 14, 21 and 25 of the Constitution. On August 5, the Court had heard arguments in the plea.
