The Delhi High Court on T𝐆hursday asked🅰 the Centre to respond to a PIL seeking a declaration recognising same sex marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act.
A bench of Justices Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and Asha Menon issued notice to the Centre on the plea and asked it to file a counter affidavit within✤ four weeks.
Petitioner Abhijit Iyer Mitra has contended in the petition that marriages between same sex co💝upl♏es are not possible despite the Supreme Court decriminalising consensual homosexual acts.
