The Contemporary Route To Justice: Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, 1860

HISTORY
The history of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)
started from Lord Macaulay who drafted the
Indian Penal Code and the heated discussion
which began between Lord H.L.A Hart and
Lord Patrick Devlin; renowned philosophers of
the ancient times.
The departmental committee on homosexual
offences and prostitution released its report known
as the Wolfenden report which recommended
decriminalizing homosexual behavior between
consenting adults.2
Section 377 of Indian Penal Code, 1860
is defined as unnatural offences that whoever
voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the
order of nature with any man, woman or animal
shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or
with imprisonment of either description for term
which may extend to ten years, and shall also be
liable with fine.
