Crl.A. No. 1730/2024
DEVU G. NAIR VS THE STATE OF KERALA
The Three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court found no reason to doubt Ms. Nair’s report and decided not to interfere. However, the Court observed that High Courts should respect people's sexual orientation and identity without trying to undermine or alter them through therapy or other measures. The Constitution protects the rights and dignity of members of the LGBTQ+ community and courts must respect the autonomy of such individuals. The judgement of the Court was authored by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.The Supreme Court also established guidelines emphasising the importance of prioritising habeas corpus petitions, ensuring privacy, safety, and non-discrimination, promptly releasing detained individuals, and providing immediate police protection. These guidelines are for courts handling cases where the police or family members attempt to intervene with personal relationships that individuals have freely chosen.
