Dear friends, The S.377 SLP came up in the Supreme Court before a bench headed by Justice Sabharwal this morning. The bench appeared to view our case on the right to file a PIL/ standing positively and expressed that they saw reason to remand the case back to the Delhi High Court. So it seems that they saw merit in our case. However, since this was the first hearing, respondents (government) did not appear and the court directed notice to be issued to them. This means that the government will appear on the next date (which will probably be in a month) at which time the court will hear it and possibly decide whether the case should be sent back to the Delhi High Court or not. Going by the judge's views expressed today it seems that the court was in favour of sending the case back. Yet, these are just views expressed and not a formal order that has been passed so they are indicative at best. We will keep you updated on developments and the next date.
