Law and Enforcement

The Indian Constitution, one of the most progressive legal documents in the modern world, was invoked in the judgement of Delhi High Court in 2009 which read down the archaic British Colonial Penal Code Sec 377 which discriminated against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender citizenry. With this development LGBT’s in India now enjoy equal citizenship with the rest of the Indians.

Please review the following information to understand the non-discrimination protections (from law enforcement/police, work place harassment, equal access to public services) and equal rights afforded to LGBT’s and the implications of Common Law and UN treaties that bind India to Universal Right to Human Rights.
