The Supreme Court is all set to announce its verdict on a batch of pleas seeking legal recognition of same sex marriages in the country. 

A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli and P S Narasimha, are presently deliberating on their judgements. 

CJI Chandrachud said that there four judgements in the matter.

He said, “Homosexuality or queerness is not urban concept or restricted to upper class of society.” He added, “To imagine queer as existing only in urban spaces would be like erasing them, queerness can be regardless of one’s caste or class.”

While hearing the matter on May 11, the bench had observed it cannot give a declaration on same-sex unions on the anticipation as to how Parliament is likely to respond to it.
