View on indianexpress.com http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/no-separate-proposal-to-repeal-or-amend-section-377-govt/ Preview by Yahoo The news is not unexpected, but what is surprising is the number of cases registered under the section : 140 in delhi, 127 in UP, 98 in Maharashtra and 99 in Haryana. I believe non-consensual m-t-m sex , including that with a minor male is booked under section 377. Wonder how many of these cases might be of consensual sex between two adult males?
It also appears that the National Crime Records Bureau has begun registering cases under section 377 from this year only. So it is difficult to find out whether the number of cases registered has increased after the Supreme Court decision last December. In Loksabha, another minister said that any decision can be taken only after the Supreme court takes a decision. Hadn't the Supreme court said in its the business of the legislature to decide upon the section? The matter is sub-judiced before the Supreme Court.
