New Delhi:
The Supreme Court Tuesday reserved its verdict on a batch of
petitions challenging the Delhi High Court's judgement
decriminalising consensual sex among adults of the same gender.
The apex court bench headed by Justice G.S. Singhvi reserved the
verdict on the conclusion of the arguments that had spread over
many weeks. The hearing witnessed flip-flops on the part of the
home ministry on its stand about the Delhi High Court judgement on
gay sex.
The hearing also witnessed the court taking exception to the
central government's neutral stand on the issue. The court had
described the central government's position as a new phenomenon
which had not taken place earlier.
