Supreme Court on Tuesday referred to a five-judge bench a curative petition seeking re-examination of its verdict criminalising homosexuality in the country under section 377 IPC. A bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur heard the curative petition filed by gay rights activists and NGO Naz Foundation against the apex court's December 11, 2013 judgement upholding validity of section 377 (unnatural sexual offences) of IPC and the January 2014 order, by which it had dismissed a bunch of review petitions. The petitioners were the NGO Naz Foundation, working for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community.
