Amritpal Singh, fugitive preacher who has been on the run since March 18, today surrendered before Punjab police in Moga, reports NDTV citing sources. He has been detained by the police. Amritpal Singh, who the government describes as a Khalistani-Pakistan agent, has been active in Punjab for the past few years and is often seen escorted by armed supporters. He claims to be a follower of the Khalistani separatist and terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and is known as "Bhindranwale 2.0" among his supporters. Amritpal Singh is likely to be shifted to Dibrugarh jail in Assam, according to Punjab Police sources.
The same-sex marriage hearing on April 24 was postponed due to two judges' indisposition. The top court is hearing a batch of petitions challenging certain provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, Foreign Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act and other marriage laws, as unconstitutional on the ground that they deny same-sex couples the right to marry or alternatively to read these provisions broadly so as to include same-sex marriage. So far, the Supreme Court has observed that looking at India, constitutionally and socially, "we have already reached the intermediate stage that by decriminalising homosexuality, one can contemplate that people who belong to the same sex would be in stable marriage-like relationships".
