HC on Gay Sex: Sexual Relationship Was Prima Facie Consensual in Nature, Says Gujarat High Court While Granting Bail to Man Booked Under Section 377

The Gujarat High Court recently granted bail to a 22-year-old man who was booked under Section 377 (unnatural offences) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court granted bail to the man after finding that the sexual relationship he had with the complainant-man was prima facie consensual in nature. "Prima facie, it appears that a consensual relationship was going on between the applicant and the complainant. The present applicant is only 22 years old and has no past antecedents," Justice Hasmukh D Suthar said. The state's top court also said that consensual sex between adults has been decriminalised by the Supreme Court in the 2018 case of Navtej Singh Johar vs Union of India. The applicant was booked for several offences after a complaint was lodged against him by a 64-year-old man. He had moved the High Court with an application seeking bail on the ground that he had been falsely implicated. HC on Helmets: Gujarat High Court Directs Its Officials and Pillion Riders Commuting to Court on Two-Wheelers To Wear Helmets, Warns Against Entry on Premises.
