Centre asks SC to declare its 2018 adultery decriminalisation verdict 'not good law'

The Centre has urged Supreme Court to declare its 2018 Joseph Shine judgment, which decriminalised adultery, as "not good law". Centre clarified it doesn't seek to revive Section 497 of IPC, but challenges the court's reasoning, particularly its reliance on "constitutional morality." It called the concept a "judicially evolved, vague and indeterminate" test for judicial review.
