NGO Naz Foundation yesterday moved the Supreme Court seeking a review of its ruling over Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, according to which homosexuality or same gender sex between two adults is a criminal offence. In a jolt to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, the apex court held on December 11 that consensual sex between adults of the same gender was illegal and an offence according to the existing law.

NGOs and LGBT groups across the country have been protesting the Dec 11 apex court ruling that overruled the Delhi High Court verdict that decriminalised homosexuality. File pic
