NEW DELHI, Feb 2 : India's top court agreed on Tuesday to review a decision which criminalises gay sex, sparking hope among campaigners that the colonial-era law will eventually be overturned in the world's biggest democracy.
The Supreme Court's three most senior judges accepted a last-ditch challenge against a 2013 decision reimposing the ban, which is stipulated in India's criminal code and enables the jailing of homosexuals.     ?AFP
