We have an innate need to be seen and see: CJI

The Supreme Court delivers its much-anticipated judgement on Tuesday (October 17) on pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage.  

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, while pronouncing the verdict on 21 pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage, on Tuesday it is for Parliament to change the Special Marriage Act and the court can't make law but only interpret it.

Four separate verdicts will be pronounced by the bench. “There are four separate judgements in the matter,” the CJI said and started reading out operative portion of his verdict.

Pronouncing the verdict, he said it was “incorrect to state that marriage is a static and unchanging institution.”

The five-judge constitution bench comprises the CJI and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli and P S Narasimha.

Besides the CJI, Justice Kaul, Justice Bhat and Justice Narasimha have penned separate verdicts.
