New Delhi, July 09: The Supreme Court today sought a response from the Centre on an appeal against the Delhi High Court judgement legalising gay sex among consenting adults with the petitioner contending that approving homosexual act would have adverse impact on the institution of marriage.
The Bench did not grant any interim order on the public interest litigation saying it will be passed after knowing the stand of the Centre and others concerned with the issue.
The apex court issued notice to the Centre on the petition filed by an astrologer challenging the July two verdict of the High Court but the advocate appearing for the petitoner did not miss the opportunity to point out that the first adverse impact of the judgement on the society have started pouring in with the reports of seven cases of gay marriages.
