The law minister said in the upper house of the parliament in December that 165 high court judges were appointed last year against 331 vacancies. A bill passed by parliament to change the process was rejected by the Supreme Court in 2015. The dispute has exacerbated a shortage of high court judges and a backlog of cases. Several lawyers and retired judges told Reuters they believed the government was seeking to influence the judiciary, which would be unconstitutional. When asked about Naik's case, a senior law ministry official said the government's decisions about appointments are confidential.

India decriminalised homosexuality when it scrapped a colonial-era ban on gay sex in 2018, but it remains a taboo topic in this socially conservative country of 1.4 billion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has in the past refused to legalise same-sex marriage. The RSS, established in 1925, is estimated to have millions of active members across India and overseas. Lawyers for the couples declined to comment about Bhagwat's comments, saying the matter was before the court.
