22. Shri P.P. Malhotra, learned Additional Solicitor General, who
appeared on behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs, referred to the
affidavit filed before the Delhi High Court wherein the Ministry of Home
Affairs had opposed de-criminalisation of homosexuality and argued that in
its 42nd Report, the Law Commission had recommended retention of Section
377 IPC because the societal disapproval thereof was very strong. Learned
Additional Solicitor General submitted that the legislature, which
represents the will of the people has decided not to delete and it is not
for the Court to import the extra-ordinary moral values and thrust the
same upon the society. He emphasized that even after 60 years of
independence, Parliament has not thought it proper to delete or amend
Section 377 IPC and there is no warrant for the High Court to have declared
the provision as ultra vires Articles 14,15 and 21 of the Constitution.
