Sec 377: NGO files curative petition

| | Apr 03, 2014, at 08:01 pm
New Delhi, Apr 3 (IBNS) Non-governmental organization (NGO) Naz Foundation on Thursday filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court challenging the apex court's Dec 11 verdict that criminalized gay sex.

It was in 2001 that Naz Foundation first filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the constitutional validity of Section 377. The Indian government had challenged it back then. 

On Jan 28 this year, bringing disappointment to the LGBT community once again, the Supreme Court rejected a petition filed by the Centre seeking a review against its Dec 11, 2013 verdict that criminalized gay sex.

 On Dec 20, 2013, the Centre had filed a review plea against the Supreme Court ruling on Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which once again criminalized gay sex.
