India May Repeal Anti-Gay Sex Laws
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/02/020306india.htm

India's Supreme Court on Friday ordered a new trial in a challenge to the country's laws against sodomy.

Last year the Delhi High Court upheld the sodomy law dismissing a petition by the Naz Foundation, an LGBT rights organization seeking a judicial review of the law. (story)

The court said that gay relationships constituted an “unnatural offence” and that Indian society was not ready for it.

The Foundation appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court. Friday two justices sent the case back to the lower court for reconsideration.
