A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a review of a Constitution Bench’s majority judgment which had held that only the legislature can recognise or regulate queer marriage.
The review plea was filed by Udit Sood, one of the original petitioners who had appeared before the Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud.
The Constitution Bench had, in its judgment, reasoned that since there was no fundamental or unqualified right to marry, the courts cannot intervene.
