Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
On 1 September 2004 the Delhi High Court dismissed litigation seeking to quash a law making homosexual acts a punishable offence. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code dates back to the 1860s, during the period of British colonialism. Two NGOs, one of which was an AIDS organization involved in prevention work, challenged the law after being criminally charged. |
