‘Highly inappropriate’: SCBA condemns BCI resolution on same-sex marriage

Live Mint  

The Supreme Court Bar Association on Friday passed a resolution wherein they have condemned the statements of the Bar Council of India in opposing legalisation of same sex marriage and the hearing and decision making process being held in Supreme Court of India. The SCBA in their resolution mentioned it was "highly inappropriate of Bar Council of India" to oppose the same sex case hearing since it is the right of Supreme Court to decide whether matter should be adjudicated by court or be left to parliament. “The SCBA Executive Committee feels it highly inappropriate for the BCI to issue a Press Statement dated 23.04.2023 opposing a hearing of the matter before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. On April 23, 2023, the Bar Council of India passed a resolution on the ongoing marriage equality petitions, urging the Supreme Court to abdicate its role and defer the matter to the Parliament instead.
