Hearing for 29th Oct. 2009"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s impossible to describe the frustration of figuring out what&#8217;s going on with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/tag\/article-377\">Article 377<\/a> these days. After the matter was <a href=\"http:\/\/bhagwad.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/sc-hearing-on-article-377-postponed-14th-september-29th.html\">posted for hearing<\/a> in the Supreme Court on the 29th of Sept. 2009, I tried to find out what happened. Here&#8217;s the short answer:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next hearing on 29th October 2009. Now for the long answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are no less than <em>eight<\/em> petitions against the Delhi HC&#8217;s Landmark judgment on Article 377. The people who&#8217;re complaining range from Astrologers, Hindutva leaders, Churches, Guardians of &#8220;public morality&#8221; and even the Commission for the protection of children. Some case numbers are changed, tagged with others, and for quite a few cases, I have absolutely no clue when the next hearing is. Still, after digging around and cross consolidating, here is the status as of today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following people are fighting the reading down of Section 377:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>B.P Singhal (BJP Hindutva guy)<\/strong><br \/>\nOld Case No. <em>PC 12779\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nNew Case No. <em>DC 22267\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nNo further info<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bhim Singh (The guy from the Panthers Party)<\/strong><br \/>\nOld Case No. <em>PC 10942\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nNew Case No. <em>DC 25346\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nTagged with SK Tijarawala&#8217;s Case. <em>DC 20913\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nNext Hearing on 29th October 2009<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suresh Kumar Kaushal (Astrologer Fellow)<\/strong><br \/>\nCase No. <em>DC 15436\/2009<\/em><br \/>\nNo Further info<\/p>\n<p><strong>S.

One is the Tijarawala faction that has two other petitions tied to it. The other is the Suresh Kaushal faction that has the child rights petition tagged to it. The Tijarawala petition will be heard on the 29th of October &#8211; a long time away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let&#8217;s just hope that no one else jumps into the fray or I&#8217;ll go crazy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Update (25th October 2009): Tijarwala&#8217;s case has been combined with Suresh Kumar Kaushal&#8217;s <em>DC 15436\/2009<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do <em>you<\/em> think?
