Supriyo alias Supriya Chakraborty v. Union of India is the Supreme Court of India's own 2023 judgment declining to extend legal recognition to same sex marriage under existing law, a split decision delivered on 17 October 2023, confirmed against independent legal reporting of the ruling. Its strength is that it is the primary legal text itself, including the dissenting reasoning, not a secondary account of what the Court held. Its limit is the ordinary one for any single judicial opinion: it is the Court's own reasoning on the case before it, not an independent scholarly account of the broader debate.
