Re-Cast(e)ing Navtej Singh v. Union of India

*

Volume 13 Issue 3 ()

Taking inspiration from feminist judgment projects from around the world, this article provides an alternative judgment in the case around the decriminalisation of §377 in Navtej Singh v. Union of India, adjudicated by the Supreme Court of India in 2018. It places caste as central to the analysis of the persistence of §377, and its attendant legal and social denouncements of furtive sex especially along the lines of non-normative sexualities and genders
