Delhi High Court seeks Centre's stand on PIL against exclusion of 'unnatural offences' in BNS

The Delhi High Court sought the central government's stance on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the exclusion of unnatural offences from the Best National Standards (BNS). The PIL argues that the exclusion discriminates against certain sexual orientations, violating fundamental rights. The Court's decision to involve the Centre reflects the sensitivity of the issue and the need for a considered legal and governmental response. The case is significant as it could lead to changes in the legal framework governing unnatural offences, aligning them with constitutional principles of equality and non-discrimination.
