New Delhi, July 08: Baba Ramdev will on Wednesday approach the Supreme Court to challenge the Delhi High Court’s recent verdict on homosexuality. He has been openly critical of the court order legalising gay sex among consenting adults.
The yoga guru believes the judgement will have an adverse effect on the moral and cultural values of Indian society at large. He will also pray for the stay on the HC verdict till the final disposal of the petition.
Ramdev has been pleading that gay sex violates the law of nature.
The landmark July 2 verdict decriminalised gay sex among consenting adults. It was earlier an offence under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code with punishment up to life imprisonment.
The verdict, however, retained the penal provision for non-consenting gay and homosexual acts involving minors.
