Former Supreme Court judge Santosh Hegde on Friday said the apex Court, whose verdict on gay sex has created an uproar, could not be faulted for its judgment as it was asked to look only into the validity of the relevant act.
‘....I won’t find fault with the Supreme Court judgment, the Supreme Court was asked to look into the validity of the act..,’ Hegde said, as the apex court verdict came under criticism with sexual minorities up in arms against it. The former Karnataka Lokayukta said, ‘.....I wouldn’t say that the judgment per se is wrong, they (Judges) seem to have realised there is something wrong with it - that is why they are suggesting Parliament - you change the law....’
