The Supreme Court on April 15, 2023 announced the formation of a new Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud to hear a series of petitions seeking legal recognition of same sex marriages.

Senior advocates AM Singhvi, Neeraj Kishan Kaul, Menaka Guruswamy, advocates Arundhati Katju and Govind Manoharan, for petitioners, said the “right to life includes dignity of choice and family, marriage, procreating and sexual orientation”. Mr. Kaul referred to the apex court’s judgment upholding privacy as a constitutional right, submitting that the right to privacy of same-sex couples involves “making vital, personal choices, including the right to marry”.
