    Solution

    The Supreme Court’s five-judge Constitution Bench overruled Section 377 of the IPC in a landmark decision in Navtej Singh Johar & Ors. V. Union of India. In India, the amendment made homosexuality illegal and classified it as an immoral offense. To the point that criminal consensual intercourse between homosexuals was a crime under the penal provision, it was found unlawful. The seminal ruling puts an end to India’s long-running controversy about the role of homosexuality and is a major relief for the LGBTQ community.
