A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Of India DY Chandrachud began hearing a new batch of petitions on Tuesday that seek legalisation of same-sex marriage in India. The bench also comprises Justices S K Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, PS Narasimha, and Hima Kohli. At least 15 petitions were referred to a larger bench by the CJI last month on the matter.
Appearing for the Centre is SG Tushar Mehta whereas Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi is appearing for the petitioners.
