Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India
Section 377 IPC; consensual adult intimacy; dignity and privacy.
IRAC Analysis
Whether Section 377 criminalising consensual same-sex relations violates Articles 14, 15, 19 and 21.
The Court decriminalised consensual sexual acts between adults irrespective of gender identity or sexual orientation, reading down Section 377 to exclude private consensual conduct while retaining non-consensual and child-related offences.
