520			_aThe LGBT community (people in the categories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) has been deprived of their constitutional rights and subjugated in Indian society due to century old law (IPC 1861) made by Britishers on the line of Buggery Act 1533. The community have been facing exclusion and meted out with derogatory and discriminatory treatment by the rest of the society for long period. They resisted for their rights since 1990s but finally the legal course began in the end of 20th century. The dawn of 21st century witnessed judicial intervention in favour of their rights first by Delhi High Court in 2009 and later by Supreme Court in 2018. The superior judiciary of India took care of their natural and constitutional rights and passed verdicts in their favour. The present article takes the account of their miseries, fight against the subjugation and judicial interventions for ensuring their rights as human being.
