India's High Court refused to stay its verdict de-criminalizing homosexuality on Monday:
"The apex Court said it would wait for the government to come out with a definite stand on the issue. 'We are not for stay as there is no threat of any
consequences. We will hear the government, what is their stand,' a
Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P
Sathasivam said. 'Why not wait till government takes a definite stand,' the Bench said before posting the matter for September 14. Attorney General G E Vahanvati said that the
government has taken a stand and it will reconsider it again as three
ministries are involved. He said that it was not in favour of the stay of the High Court order."
