The Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud on October 23 said that he formed a minority view on certain aspects as three of his colleagues differed on opinion granting legal rights to queer couples in a recent hearing.

"Sometimes it is a vote of conscience and vote of the constitution and I stand by what I said", legal news portal Bar and Bench quoted the CJI as saying.
