Yesterday, it looked like the ruling that came from a New Delhi court that legalized homosexuality was valid only within New Delhi. But after some legal wrangling, it looks like the ruling applies to all of India:
Although legal pundits are divided on this, the law laid down by a 2004 SC judgment implies that homosexuals across the country may rest assured that they too are entitled to the benefits of the historic Delhi high court decision on Section 377 IPC.
. . . There is another reason why homosexuals outside Delhi can derive strength from the 2004 SC ruling on territorial jurisdiction: This is the first ever pronouncement on the constitutionality of Section 377. As a result, there is no question of any existing judgment conflicting with it. [Times of India]
