The apex court recently made this assertion while granting bail to a Muslim man who had spent nearly six months in jail for marrying a Hindu woman.
While the Uttarakhand high court had denied bail to the man in February this year, a bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma recently passed the order, allowing the appeal of the man, reported Hindustan Times.
