While hearing of a writ petition challenging the validity of Section
497 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Supreme Court indicated that it will
not make adultery a gender-neutral law and also observed that the law will not
be touched to make adultery an offence also for women, but said that it will examine
whether IPC Section 497 on the basis of Article 14 (equality before law) should
remain a criminal offence at all.
