Suraj Sanap, looks at the bigger picture
Mumbai advocate Suraj Sanap, who had a petition in this case based on the Rituparna Bohra matter (fought by Vrinda Grover), stated, “I will be able to decode the verdict and comment in detail, once it has been uploaded and then, I can peruse in detail. In an instantaneous world, we must be cautious before reacting, till a clear and comprehensive reading of the order is not done.”
Having said that, Sanap did accede though, “That one thing is absolutely clear that same-sex marriage is ruled out. I think the big focus then is the protection from harassment, violence and discrimination of the community. We may say that this is an ongoing fight and yet, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court giving directions on this does mean that there will be a re-focus and redoubling of efforts on the protection of the queer community and that can only be beneficial.”
