    1. Mizoram
    2. Goa

Correct Option: C

The Delhi High Court had on July 2, 2009 decriminalised gay sex as provided in Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and ruled that sex between two consenting adults in private would not be an offence. However, in December 2013, the Supreme Court of India set aside the Delhi High Court ruling and observed that Section 377 is a valid constitutional provision.
