#377Fight: Court has an open mind, 5 judge bench to hear case
- 5 years ago
The first step for equality has been taken by the supreme court today. In what many are terming a landmark judgement the apex court reopened the debate on Section 377 and rights to the LGBT community.
The matter for gay rights has been further spread to an open court hearing consisting of five judges. The open hearing of the curative petition will, if ruled in favour of constitutional rights for LGBT, prove as a historic decision taken by the highest authority of India. This open hearing amidst a five-judge bench is being interpreted as a step forward as it will enable further study and probable re-enactment of a constitution in favour of LGBT people. The law, which dates back to 1860, prohibits "carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal."
