The Uttarakhand High Court will be shifted from Nainital to Haldwani. This decision was taken in a cabinet meeting held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Earlier in April 2018, the Uttarakhand government had passed The Uttarakhand Freedom Of Religion Act, 2018, under which "forced or fraudulent conversions done through force or allurement" are non-bailable offences and can lead to imprisonment up to five years.
