Kapil Sibal for Chidambaram- it will become infructuous
Kapil Sibal- either grant him interim bail or put him under house arrest until the matter is heard. Otherwise if he's sent to Tihar, it won't be fair

Sibal- The issuance of non bailable warrant is what we contest. How do they put out a notice at midnight and give me 2 hrs notice. I replied at 1.10am and still they issued a nbw stating that I'm absconding

#Section377 : The Constitution Bench assembles for pronouncement of verdict
CJI says its a unanimous verdict expressed through four separate but concurring judgments
"#Section377 is arbitrary. LGBT community posses rights like others. Majoritarian views and popular morality cannot dictate constitutional rights"- CJI Misra's judgment #LGBT
#Section377 Day 4 : Adv. Manoj George, representing two Christian Associations, starts arguments in support of #Section377 IPC
He submits that there is intelligible differentia in #Section377 as classification is based on whether carnal intercourse against "order of nature" or not
Justice Chandrachud asks" what is the order of nature?" #Section377
#Section377 Day 3 Session 1 : Shyam Divan, Senior Advocate, has resumed arguments. He is appearing for intervenor "Voices Against 377" #LGBTQ
Divan emphasises on positive dimension of Article 14, states that it includes 'equal protection of law'. Refers to Justice Nariman's judgment in Triple Talaq case case to highlight 'equal protection of law'
Divan bats for "Right to Intimacy" quoting from South African Constitutional Court that right to privacy covers right to maintain intimate relations unaffected by law #Section377 #Sec377IPC
ASG Thushar Mehta submits that Union of India will leave the matter of constitutionality of #Section377 to be decided by the Court. #Sec377 #LGBTQ
ASG further submits that the practises like incest should not be promoted. CJI allays such apprehensions by retorting that such relationships are void under law
CJI states that Court is considering only the issue whether homosexual practises should be treated as a crime. ASG replies that Union of India leaves this issue to the wisdom of the Court, but if the Court is considering larger issues Union of India will file detailed statement
In a significant judgment, SC has ruled that members of the medical profession owe a constitutional duty to treat the have-nots & that they cannot refuse to treat a person in dire need of treatment merely on the ground that he can't afford the fee. [1/n]

#Section377 DYC,J to Rohatgi: "When you are referring to gender and not just the orientation, then the rights which emanate from it are much larger than those related to sexual orientation."
#Section377 - ASG says the petitioners should confine their arguments only to 377 and not more.
#Section377 DYC,J says declaration of rights should not only mean sexual orientation.
