A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages. While Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, who was heading the bench pronouncing its verdict on 21 pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriages directed the Centre, states and Union Territories (UTs) to ensure that the queer community is not discriminated, Justices S Ravindra Bhat, PS Narasimha and Hima Kohli were against granting legal recognition to same-sex marriages.
The verdict was pronounced with 3:2 judgements (Justices S Ravindra Bhat, PS Narasimha and Hima Kohli : CJI DY Chandrachud and Justice SK Kaul).
