Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat Thursday suggested that the Supreme Court verdict on decriminalisation of gay sex may not be implemented in the Army. <br /> <br />Gen Rawat, during his annual press conference, said such actions are forbidden in the Army. <br /> <br />At the same time, he added that the Army is not above the law. “We will not allow this to happen in the Army,” he said. <br /> <br />In what was hailed as a historic move, a five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court last September unanimously decriminalised part of the 158-year-old colonial law under Section 377 of the IPC which criminalises consensual unnatural sex, saying it violated the rights to equality.
