Section 377

Naz Foundation Case, 2009: Delhi HC decriminalised Section 377 of IPC in the case of consensual adult sex in private.
Suresh Kumar Koushal Case, 2013: SC reversed the Naz Foundation judgement thereby violating the doctrine of equity, privacy and dignity guaranteed under Article 21, 14 and 15. Criminalisation under Section 377 exacerbates the spread of HIV. The judgement exhibited a total disconnect with the expanding horizon of human rights.
NALSA vs UOI case: SC recognised a 3rd gender status for transgenders.
