In February 2016, the Supreme Court of India allowed a challenge to section 377 of the penal code to proceed, referring the case to a five-judge bench. The colonial-era provision, which the court upheld 2013, criminalises same-sex relations between adults.

In June, several well-known LGBT professionals filed a petition in Supreme Court arguing that section 377 violates the right to life and personal liberty, but the Supreme Court deferred petition to the Chief Justice. In August, the government introduced a new bill in parliament on the rights of transgender persons.
