Quoting Goethe, “I am what I am, so take me as I am,” the Chief Justice of India, Deepak Misra and a panel of judges excised Section 377 responding to a bundle of six petitions. In an arduous and rock ladden path to decriminalise the punishment of retaining individuality, the activists had to pursue whilst living in fear of the law drafted in 1861 by the hot air of Victorians and the its modern day mascots, veiled or explicit.
Although many argue that homophobia was a foreign influence to Indian culture, many incumbent political leaders have openly excercised their right of opinion, dangerously resonating with their supporters.
With legal sanctum, the animosity to the already marginally supported interest groups, will hopefully reduce and the nation will gain movement in decolonising itself.October

Read all stories from LawZ Magazine

LawZ Magazine Description:

LawZ released its first issue in August, 2001. The intent was to create a magazine about the law and the legal field, but with a difference. LawZ is India s first comprehensive monthly law magazine for all.The magazine not only covers events relating to the Indian legal system but also makes an effort in comparing it with the legal systems across the globe.

Instead of being of interest only to lawyers and others involved in the legal profession, the aim was to create something that could be read, understood, and even enjoyed by those who do not have formal knowledge of law. In short, it was to be more than a dry, ponderous collection of articles written in the oft arcane language of the court. Nor was it to focus solely on India, because today no news is complete unless it touches on the world at large.

The magazine reaches to all the judges of the Supreme Court, High Courts, Bar Council of India, Lawyers, Law Colleges and Institutions, top Indian and foreign Law Firms, Indian Corporates and Multinational Companies and Legal departments of government and Semi-government agencies, Corporate houses and several Embassies.

The magazine is presently in its 15th year of publication and is receiving tremendous response and appreciation from all the sections of the society and today is the only legal magazine, which has attained its present status in such a short span of time.

We’ve come a long way since our first issue. Today, it is regarded as a benchmark and a trailblazer in legal journalism.
