UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion Act, Sections 3 & 5(1) | Prima Facie Allurement via Victim Testimony & CCTV Mandates Full Investigation, Not FIR Quashing : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that when victim testimony and CCTV footage collectively establish prima facie evidence of allurement under the UP Unlawful Conversion Act, courts cannot quash the FIR at the threshold - investigation is mandatory to determine intent and legality. This sets a critical precedent for protecting investigative integrity in religious conversion cases where claims of mala fide intent cannot override evidentiary triggers.
