JAMMU: BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh asserted on Tuesday that the BJP's vote share and seat count increased in the just-concluded Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (Kargil) election and that Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be held soon once the process of delimitation and preparing the voter list has been completed. He added that the Gupkar alliance, which lost in the vote for local bodies, would have a similar fate in the vote for the Assembly. "The election will start on schedule. It had been decades since there had been any delimitation. The assembly constituency boundaries have now been established. The list of voters has been created.Political parties have received it so they can submit their reservations. The election will thus be held soon, Chugh informed the media present. He said that 700 written complaints indicating inconsistencies in the ward and gramme panchayat listings have been made by local bodies in relation to the urban local body (ULB) polls. We were denied the ability to vote. The Kargil ward and gramme panchayat system is flawed and was created with bias. In response to a query regarding the opposition's claim that the government has failed to hold the eagerly anticipated elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP leader replied, "I request the government to address this. In response to a different inquiry concerning the Kargil polls, he stated that voter turnout was five times more than in previous elections. "We only ran for 16 seats, but we gained the people's entire support. In contrast to the previous election, the BJP won two seats this time around, he noted. According to Chugh, the saffron party's vote share and seat total increased in the Kargil polls, and he accused the opposition of stoking uncertainty over it. The BJP leader commented on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir by claiming that the Union Territory, formerly regarded as the "capital of terrorism," has been transformed into a centre of development and tourism."Jammu and Kashmir has changed from being known as the "capital of terrorism" into a major tourist destination. Jammu & Kashmir, a province that was denied advancement for decades by the previous governments, has entered a period of growth, he added. According to Chugh, a new era of peace and development has arrived in Jammu and Kashmir, and the region's youth are now empowered. "Our effective campaign against terrorism is one of our greatest successes. Nobody can ever be forgiven for hurting our civilians, he declared. "Under the leadership of (Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief) Ravinder Raina, we are conducting jan samvad events at all booths," Chugh stated.

SC refuses to give marriage equality right to LGBTQIA community

editor October 17, 2023Leave a comment

NEW DELHI: A majority of the five-judge Supreme Court Constitution bench has declared that there is no unqualified right to marriage for LGBTQIA+ couples and that only legislation can grant civil unions legal status. On May 11 of this year, the decision that had been reserved by the bench that included Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli, and PS Narasimha was given. However, the court ruled that the verdict will not restrict the ability of queer people to form relationships. The Special Marriage Act (SMA) challenge on the grounds of under-classification is not supported, according to the supreme court.These seats were shared by Justices Ravindra Bhat, Narasimha, and Hima Kohli, but not by Chief Justice Chandrachud or Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul. The bench made it clear that there were four judgements in the case at the beginning of the judgement. CJI Chandrachud, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Justice Ravindra Bhat, and Justice Narasimha each presided over one, with the last being handled by CJI Chandrachud. According to his ruling, the CJI gave the Union and State governments the mandate to make sure there is no discrimination against the LGBTQ community. It should be made sure that the queer community has equal access to goods and services, according to the CJI. Sensitising the public about LGBT rights is necessary. To stop harassment, the federal and state governments must establish a hotline for the queer community. For gay couples, the government must establish safe houses. Additionally, the government must make sure that intersex youngsters are not made to undergo procedures. It should be made sure that no one is forced to receive hormone therapy, according to the CJI. The gay community shall not be subjected to harassment by being called into a police station merely to answer questions about their sexual orientation. Queer people shouldn't be made to return to their birth families by the police. Before filing a formal complaint (FIR) against a homosexual couple for their relationship, the police should do some preliminary inquiries. According to the CJI, this Court has the authority to consider the case.India has long been aware of the existence of the LGBTQ community. It is neither elite nor urban. Marriage is dynamic. Due to institutional constraints, the Supreme Court is not permitted to invalidate the Special Marriage Act or add new provisions to it. Discrimination occurs when the State refuses to acknowledge the slew of rights that result from an LGBT relationship. There must be any limitations on the right to union based on sexual orientation. According to current legislation, including personal laws, heterosexual relationships including transgender people are legal. In his ruling, the CJI stated that unmarried couples, including LGBT couples, are permitted to jointly adopt children.The right of the LGBT community to form unions must not be subject to discrimination by the Union Government, State Governments, or Union Territories. The CJI ordered the Union Government to form a committee to determine the privileges and rights of those who belong to homosexual unions. The Committee will think about allowing gay couples to apply for joint bank accounts, privileges derived from pensions and gratuities, etc. The Committee will also think about including gay couples as family in ration cards. The Union Government will review the committee report. Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul stated in his concurring opinion that while marriage is not the end, legalising same-sex relationships is a step towards marriage equality. Justice Kaul urged us to maintain autonomy because it does not violate the rights of others. On a number of points in the ruling, Justices Ravindra Bhat and Narasimha dissented from the Chief Justice of India. The right to marry cannot be viewed as a fundamental right without any restrictions, according to Justice Bhat. Even while we concur that there is a right to relationships, we are clear that this right is covered by Article 21. It involves the freedom to select a partner and engage in physical intimacy with them, as well as the freedom to enjoy privacy and autonomy. These rights should be exercised freely and unhindered by the rest of society, and the state is required to defend them when they are in danger.…

Same-sex marriage: CJI says it is for Parliament to effect changes in law, equality demands that queer persons not discriminated against

editor October 17, 2023Leave a comment

NEW DELHI:The Special Marriage Act should be changed by Parliament, not the court, according to Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, who delivered his ruling on Tuesday on 21 petitions seeking legal recognition for same-sex unions. Justice Chandrachud stated at the opening that there were four judgements in the case, including those of himself, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, and P S Narasimha. A fifth judge, Justice Hima Kohli, is included on the five-judge panel. The CJI, who is in charge of the constitution bench, instructed the federal government, the states, and the Union Territories (UTs) to make sure that the LGBT population is not subjected to discrimination, stating that queer is a long-known natural phenomena that is neither urban nor elitist. In regards to the CJI's decision to provide certain rights to queer couples, Justice Kaul said he concurs. He added that legal recognition of non-heterosexual unions is a step towards marriage equality and that "non-heterosexual and heterosexual unions must be seen as both sides of the same coin." During the reading of his verdict, Justice Bhat stated that he shares some of the CJI's opinions and holds others of his own. The Chief Justice of India stated in his decision on the crucial issue that Parliament must consider whether a change in the Special Marriage Act's administration is necessary. The court cannot create laws. It can only interpret it and make it happen, he continued. According to Justice Chandrachud, the court has taken note of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's declaration that the government will convene a committee to deliberate on the privileges and rights of those who are members of LGBT unions. He ordered the Centre, states, and UTs to take actions to educate the public about gay rights and make sure that intersex children are not allowed to have sex-change procedures at a young age when they cannot fully understand the consequences as he read out the operative portion of his decision. Before filing a police report (FIR) against a gay couple for their relationship, the CJI instructed the police to make some preliminary inquiries. He claimed that homosexuality or queerness is not a phenomenon unique to urban areas or the wealthy.According to Justice Chandrachud, it would be erasing to think of gay people as just living in metropolitan areas. Queerness can exist regardless of caste or status. To say that marriage is a "static and unchanging institution" would be false, he claimed. According to Justice Chandrachud, the right to life and liberty guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution begins with the freedom to select one's life mate. The CJI stated that refusing to accept such an association would constitute discrimination and that the right to join into a union involves the freedom to select a partner and its recognition. All people, including queers, have the freedom to assess the morality of their own lives, he said. According to the CJI, this court has acknowledged that equality mandates that LGBT people not be subjected to discrimination. According to him, it would be discriminatory against gay couples if the law made the assumption that only heterosexual couples could make excellent parents. The verdict is currently being announced. After a lengthy, 10-day hearing, the bench deferred its decision on the pleas on May 11. The Centre had stated to the Supreme Court during the arguments that any constitutional ruling it reached on the petitions seeking approval of same-sex unions might not be the "correct course of action" since the court would not be able to predict, envision, understand, and cope with any consequences. On April 18, the supreme court began hearing arguments in the case. The bench made it clear during the arguments that it will not consider personal laws governing marriages when deciding the petitions for judicial recognition of same-sex unions and that the Special Marriage Act's definition of a man and a woman is not "an absolute based on genitals." Some petitioners had requested the supreme court to utilise its full authority, "prestige, and moral authority" to pressure society into recognising such a union so that LGBTQIA++ people might live "dignified" lives like heterosexuals. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit, asexual, and ally persons are collectively referred to as LGBTQIA++.The Centre informed the court on May 3 that it would form a committee under the direction of the cabinet secretary to look into administrative measures that may be done to meet the "genuine humane concerns" of same-sex couples without addressing the question of legalising their union. On April 27, the court requested information from the Centre regarding whether same-sex couples can receive social welfare advantages such as opening joint bank accounts and designating a life partner in provident fund, gratuity, and pension plans without worrying about whether their marriage would be recognised by the law.
