The Delhi High Court in Naz Foundation case supported which of the following relationships between law and morality ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In its 2009 Naz Foundation judgment, the Delhi High Court held that popular disapproval could not by itself justify restricting fundamental rights. It distinguished public morality from constitutional morality, which derives from constitutional values. Enforcement of moral views therefore remains subject to constitutional rights rather than automatically authorising criminal punishment.
