Same-Sex Marriage: Right-Wing Group Protest Against The Same Outside SC

As the Supreme Court heard petitions related to same-sex marriages, a Right-wing group protested against the same outside the Apex Court premises.

Stating that Homosexuality was against the culture of the country, the group called United Hindu Front urged the top court of the country not to hear the petitions.

The protest was led by President of the organisation, Jai Bhagwan Goel.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice P.S. Narasimha issued notice to the Central government on the matter and directed it to file response by February 15.

The top court of the country transferred all petitions pending before High Courts on the matter to itself.

The Apex Court fixed March 13 as the next date of hearing.

The bench has also appointed Advocate Arundhati Katju on behalf of petitioners and Advocate Kanu Agarwal on behalf of the Union government as Nodal Counsels.
