New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to hear a petition against conversion, stating that religion is a matter of personal faith and whether or not to adopt another religion is a personal decision. A bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice C Harishankar has asked the petitioner by profession to withdraw the petition as the court does not want to dismiss it.
