Senior advocate Sighvi in his argument said that the heart of the same-sex marriage case is the 'right to choose' and the 'heart of the matter is marital relationship...regardless of gender or gender identity". Supreme Court has begun the Day 2 hearing arguments for granting legal recognition to same-sex marriages on Wednesday.

The Centre today urged the Court that all states and Union Territories be made parties to the proceedings on the pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriages.

The bench, also comprising Justices S K Kaul, S R Bhat, Hima Kohli and P S Narasimha, commenced hearing for the second day on the batch of pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage.

"Navtej was momentous and it was little done in vast undone and this case is significantly done. This case is removing the next brick of discrimination," advocate Sighvi added.

Singhvi says, 'will finish by tomorrow lunch time' ; CJI asks to 'wrap it by today'

‘I will not repeat 95% of submissions made by Mr Rohatgi. I will finish by tomorrow lunch time,’ Singhvi said.
