The Supreme Court has said that these comments will not be quoted by the High Court or any other court in any other case or proceeding. The Supreme Court on Friday removed the comment of the Allahabad High Court from the decision that if religious events involving conversion are not allowed. If stopped, the majority population of the country will one day become a minority.

The top court granted relief to the accused saying that he is in custody from May 21, 2023.
The bench said, ‘We make it clear that the general observations made by the High Court had no bearing on the facts of the present case and, therefore, they were not required to dispose of the case. Therefore, these observations will not be cited in any other case or proceeding in the High Court or any other court.
