The Supreme Court of India today, agreed to consider granting an open-court hearing to petitioners seeking review of its verdict refusing to recognise same-sex marriages in India.

"We will look at it and decide," a three-judge Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud told senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi after he mentioned the matter.

"All judges (on the five-judge Constitution Bench) agree that there is discrimination...If there is discrimination then there has to be a remedy. Lives of a large number of people dependhellip;We have urged for an open-court hearing. It's to be listed on November 28hellip;We are seeking an open-court hearing," Rohatgi submitted, as reported by BarandBench.

Review petitions are generally heard "in chamber,"and not in an open court by a procedure called "hearing by circulation" where advocates representing the parties are not allowed to argue. But in exceptional cases, the top court allows open-court hearing, if convinced about its need.

Holding that there's no fundamental right to marry, the Supreme Court had on October 17 refused to allow same-sex marriages in India even as it directed the Centre to set up a high-powered committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary to decide the rights and entitlements of persons in queer unions.

Will the decision of Supreme Court will be reversed?
