A.Dear Client,

Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) criminalized any person who voluntarily engaged in carnal intercourse against the order of nature with another person or an animal. However, in a landmark decision in September 2018, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court unanimously decriminalized consensual sex between two adults, irrespective of their gender, and partially struck down Section 377 of the IPC.

This historic judgment meant that there was no longer a provision criminalizing consensual homosexual relationships between adults. The Supreme Court declared the application of Section 377 to consensual homosexual acts as unconstitutional, irrational, indefensible, and manifestly arbitrary.

Moreover, in a related context, on August 27, 2017, in the Puttuswamy case, the Supreme Court recognized the right to privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. This judgment had a significant impact on issues related to personal autonomy, including the legality of Section 377.

In summary, the Supreme Court's decisions in September 2018 and August 2017 played a crucial role in affirming the rights of individuals to engage in consensual sexual relationships without fear of criminalization and upholding the right to privacy as a fundamental right.

A.Dear Client,
According to Section 377 of the IPC, if any person, against the order of nature, voluntarily performs carnal intercourse with any man, woman, or animal, then that person is said to have committed an unnatural sexual offense. In September 2018, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court unanimously decriminalized consensual sex between two adults irrespective of their gender and partially struck down Section 377 of the IPC. So, there was no provision for addressing non-consensual sex between "men, women, transperson, and acts of bestiality" after Section 377 was removed from the IPC. On 6 September 2018, the SC decided that the application of Section 377 of IPC to consensual homosexual sex between adults was unconstitutional, "irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary". On 27th August 2017 in the Puttuswamy case, the Supreme Court upheld the right to privacy (under Article 21) as a fundamental right under which section 377 of IPC is void.
