SC declines to stay Delhi HC judgment on homosexuality

 Another attempt to get a stay against the Delhi High Court judgment decriminalising gay s*x between two consenting adults drew a blank as the Supreme Court today declined to stay the High Court judgment dated July two this year.



A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam, however, issued notices to the Centre and Naz foundation on the application seeking stay of the operation of the impugned judgment till final disposal of the petition filed by S K Tijarawala, private secretary to yoga guru Baba Ramdev and a Christian organisation, Apostolic Churches Alliance.



The apex court tagged the two petitions along with the petition which is already pending in the court and coming up for hearing on September 11.



The contention of the counsel for the petitioner was that the impugned judgment if not stayed will have disastrous consequences for the society.
