BADKUR, Vivek. NATURAL JUSTICE THEORY: WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND LGBT RIGHTS IN INDIA. Novum Jus [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, pp.241-258.  Epub Feb 07, 2023. ISSN 1692-6013.  https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2020.14.1.10.

This paper analyzes two landmark judgments on the right to privacy and LGBTQ+ rights in India. Both of these judgments form part of the same picture, the article analyses these judgments and their decision-making approach in light of natural justice theory. The Supreme Court's recognition of the right to privacy paves way for the protection of LGBT rights in India. The cumulative effect of the two judgments under analysis demonstrate the need for an expansive interpretation of fundamental and natural rights using natural justice theory.

Keywords : LGBTQ+; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; Universal Declaration of Human Rights; All India Reporter; Supreme Court Cases.
