SC judge Sanjiv Khanna recuses from considering review pleas on same-sex marriage

Supreme Court judge Sanjiv Khanna has recused himself from considering pleas for review of the apex court's judgement last year, which declined legal recognition to same-sex marriage. Khanna cited personal reasons for his recusal. The recusal would require reconstitution of a fresh five-judge constitution bench by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud for considering the review pleas.
