General Knowledge-Current Affairs-Supreme Court refuses to review verdict on criminalising sex


Supreme Court refuses to review verdict on criminalising sex

The Supreme Court has refused to review its verdict on criminalising gay sex. The Apex Court took up petitions filed by the Centre and rights activists seeking review of its earlier verdict declaring gay sex an offence. 

The gay rights activists submitted that there are a number of grave errors and wrong application of law in the judgement that needs to be corrected. 

Amid huge outrage against the judgement, the Centre also filed a petition seeking review to avoid grave miscarriage of justice to thousands of gay persons.
