Bench, which is currently seized of five separate petitions of several same-sex couples, posted hearing in the case on Feb. 3 next year
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Union government to respond to a fresh application seeking permission to live-stream the court proceedings on a bunch of petitions for recognising same-sex marriages.
A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh, which is currently seized of five separate petitions of several same-sex couples, posted the hearing in the case on February 3 next year.
Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, appearing for the applicants, said the issue raised in the petitions was of national importance, in particular with respect to the LGBTQ community, which constitutes nearly 8 per cent of the total population of the country.
