The Delhi High Court judgment has liberated persons in the judiciary, and in the fields of law, literature, science and other disciplines from the stigma of criminality and immorality solely because of their sexual orientation. The real merit of the judgment lies in its recognition that intimacies, privacies and autonomies of human life and the right of an individual to make choices, which does not harm or infringe the rights of other persons, cannot be criminalised. The judgment gives effect to the value of inclusiveness and highlights a vital fact that where society can display inclusiveness and understanding, all persons can be assured of a life of dignity and non-discrimination. It is hoped that this progressive and enlightened judgment is accepted by the State.
