The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a review petition on July 10 against its earlier judgement that denied marriage equality rights to queer couples. A five-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and including justices Sanjiv Khanna, Hima Kohli, BV Nagarathna, and PS Narasimha, will preside over the hearing.

The Congress on Friday stated that if it voted to power at the Centre, it would introduce legislation to recognise civil unions between couples belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community.
