SC On Same Sex Marriage: Petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision on gay marriage. The country’s top court has agreed to reconsider the review petition. Earlier, the country’s Supreme Court had rejected the legal recognition of gay marriage. The court said that only Parliament and state assemblies can take a decision on this matter. After this, many review petitions came in which the Supreme Court was demanded to reconsider the decision.
Supreme Court listed the case
5 judges of the Supreme Court will consider the review petitions. The matter has been listed for November 28. Well-known lawyer Mukul Rohatgi presented this matter before the judges of the Supreme Court. Along with Rohatgi’s appeal on this issue, lawyers fighting for the legality of gay marriage were also present during this appeal in the Supreme Court. Also, he told the court that the lives of a large number of people depend on it.
Let us tell you that review petitions are usually heard in the Supreme Court and lawyers do not give any oral arguments. A written argument will be presented. However, in exceptional cases and in cases involving the death penalty, they are tried in open court.
Refused to give legal recognition to gay marriage
A Constitution bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S Ravindra Bhatt, Hima Kohli and PS Narasimha ruled against recognizing gay marriage on October 17. All five judges on the bench unanimously refused to legalize gay marriage under the Special Marriage Act. The court said that this is a matter of Parliament’s jurisdiction. The Supreme Court had ruled by a majority of three to two that gay couples do not have the right to adopt children.
