New Delhi (CNN)India's Supreme Court has struck down a colonial-era law criminalizing consensual gay sex, overturning more than 150 years of anti-LGBT legislation.
The court announced the landmark verdict in Delhi on Thursday, as jubilant crowds cheered and rights activists hugged one another, overcome with emotion.
Section 377, an archaic law imposed during British rule that penalized intercourse "against the order of nature," had carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The decision to repeal the law is a major victory for India's LGBT activists and supporters after years of determined struggle.
"I can't even explain how I am feeling right now. The long battle has been won. Finally we have been recognized by this country,
" said Bismaya Kumar Raula, wiping away tears outside the court.
Others gathered said that, while they had anticipated a positive outcome, the result still came as a shock.
"It's an emotional day for me. It's a mix of feelings, it's been a long fight," said rights campaigner Rituparna Borah. "There was not enough media
or society support earlier but we have it now. People will not be seen as criminals anymore."
Though the law was rarely enforced in full, lawyers argued that it helped perpetuate a culture of fear and repression within the LGBT community.
A change in legislation will "create a space of freedom where you can start expecting justice
," Danish Sheikh, a law professor at Jindal Global Law School and LGBT advocate, told CNN.
