SUPREME COURT SEEKS GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE ON VALIDITY OF IPC SECTION 377

The court made this observation while hearing the plea filed by the Lalit Suri hospitality group head Kesav Suri, seeking the ‘Right to choice of sexual orientation’ to be declared as part of the fundamental Right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.
