NEW DELHI: The view that the DelhiHigh Court judgment de-criminalising sex among consenting adults of the same sexis "reasonable and well-balanced" has gained ground in the Manmohan Singhgovernment, which is unlikely to oppose the order in the SupremeCourt.
The government feels that the judgment touched but on a smallpart of Article 377 when it decriminalised sex between two consenting adults ofthe same sex in private, and that the alarmist interpretation that the lawitself has been upturned should not guide the Centre's action.
