Hear review plea on gay marriage in open court, petitioners to SC

LGBTQIA+ community members on Thursday requested an open court hearing on their petitions seeking review of the Supreme Court’s October 17 judgment rejecting marriage rights for same-sex couples, and tactically based their demand on CJI D Y Chandrachud’s minority opinion – “when there is discrimination, it must be remedied by the courts”. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi told a bench led by the CJI that the review petitions, listed for consideration in chambers before a five-judge bench on November 28, must be heard in the open court.
