Justice done can quickly be undone if people do not continue with the right discourse to safeguard the interests of marginalised groups, Supreme Court judge Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said.
Referring to the withdrawal of a recent 'Karwa Chauth' advertisement featuring a same-sex couple in view of protest, Justice Chandrachud said the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the Navtej Singh Johar case was alone not sufficient for the members of the LGBTQ community to realise their rights.
The judge was referring to the advertisement of Indian firm Dabur on 'Karwa Chauth', a Hindu festival which is prevalent in northern parts of the country and in which wives keep a day-long fast and perform 'puja' for the well-being of their husbands.
