An SC bench will deliver the verdict on petitions of anti-gay right activists, social and religious organisations against the 2009 verdict of the HC, which decriminalised gay sex.
The bench had reserved its order in March 2012 after granting day-today hearing of the case from February 15, 2012.
The SC had pulled up the Centre for its casual approach on decriminalisation of homosexuality and also expressed concern over Parliament not discussing such important issues and blaming the judiciary for its over-reach.
