Navtej Singh Johar vs Union Of India Ministry Of Law And ...

The Supreme Court, in a landmark judgment, held that Section 377 IPC, which criminalized consensual same-sex relations, is unconstitutional as it violates Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution. The Court established that the right to love and the right to privacy are fundamental rights, and that sexual orientation is an intrinsic part of an individual's identity. The judgment effectively decriminalized homosexuality, affirming the dignity and autonomy of the LGBTQ+ community, and emphasized the need for societal acceptance and equality.
