1234:, the court has jurisdiction on all matters if the petitioner is resident wholly or partially in its area. All High Courts have the right to hear constitutional matters. Since this matter is of a uniform constitution, any judgement by one court is unlikely to be contradicted by a court of another state. Only the Supreme Court can strike down this judgement. There have been certain inter-state river disputes where the Government of one state has been listed as a valid respondent in the High court of the other state even though the violating dam was outside its jurisdiction. If a Central government law is struck down by any constitutional court, it would apply across India as opposed to say striking down a law passed by the Delhi state government. 1907: 435: 414: 445: 630: 609: 1483:, the High Court of Delhi held that S. 377 of the IPC was unconstitutional to the extent it criminalised consensual sexual acts between adults. Criminalising non-vaginal intercourse, it held, violated an individual's fundamental right to equality before the law, freedom from discrimination and to life and personal liberty under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution of India. This decision does not bind courts outside Delhi, although it has persuasive value." -- 2020:"We declare that Section 377 IPC, insofar it criminalises consensual sexual acts of adults in private, is violative of Articles 21, 14 and 15 of the Constitution. The provisions of Section 377 IPC will continue to govern non-consensual penile non-vaginal sex and penile nonvaginal sex involving minors... Secondly, we clarify that our judgment will not result in the re-opening of criminal cases involving Section 377 IPC that have already attained finality." 875: 537: 519: 841:"However, this does not rule out the possibility of some other High Court ruling on this section or even the Supreme Court in a "Public Interest Litigation" (PIL)." ...Surely that is exactly what the 2003 decision on that NGO's standing to litigate the issue does rule out? I don't know Indian law, but that would be my understanding of the effect of the decision from the paragraph as it stands. ---- 547: 640: 245: 1593:
the High Courts enjoy equal jurisdiction and the judgements will be sent to the Supreme Court ONLY if there is a contradiction of judgements between the High Courts? I still think that it would be expressly legal in Delhi and ambiguous in the rest of India except Jammu and Kashmir. J&K will need an amendment/judgement on its own penal code which is currently a photo copy of the IPC.
328: 307: 1925:). The Jammu and Kashmir issue was alluded to above on this talk page but not with a definitive answer. I already uploaded Delhi-only versions a couple of days ago (news reports at time led me to believe it was the case) only to be reverted, so wanted to check before repeating that mistake with Jammu and Kashmir. Currently, the maps are showing all of India legalized. thanks, 276: 338: 190: 1982: 1695:
