Many
people were astonished and vexed about the Supreme Court judgment on
Homosexuality (on 11-12-2013) while the others are exultant to see the
Verdict. Both the section of the society failed to analyze the Supreme
Court judgment on moral grounds. SC has not given this judgment on moral
grounds but totally on the basis of Section 377 (Unnatural offences) of
Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Further the Supreme Court said “Notwithstanding this verdict, the competent legislature shall be free to consider the desirability and propriety of deleting
Section 377 IPC from the statute book or amend the same as per the
suggestion made by the Attorney General.” Which clearly shows the
indication of deleting the said section; and if the parliament deletes
sec. 377 of IPC then having sexual intercourse with same sex, anal sex
and sex with animals will be legalized. The SC could have used the word
“amend” instead of “deleting”. (Deleting sec.377 of IPC completely
destroys men’s right in the society, where IPC does not have any
provision to protect men who are victim of rape and sexual harassment).
