The Federal Court held there was no prima facie case for leave; Indira Gandhi is binding nationwide; Article 12(4) when read purposively requires consent of both parents for conversion of a minor; certificates of conversion do not preclude civil judicial review of legality or jurisdiction; unilateral conversions without both parents' consent are void and must be set aside.
