AFP, India: India's top court is expected to hear a final challenge Tuesday to a colonial-era ban on gay sex, a case closely watched by rights campaigners in the world's biggest democracy.  The Supreme Court's three most senior judges will review a 2013 decision to reimpose the ban contained in India's criminal code which enables the jailing of homosexuals.
"We are hopeful that the senior-most judges will see the gross mistake in the 2013 judgement," said Tripti Tandon, lawyer for the Naz Foundation, one of several gay-rights groups and campaigners which filed the review.
