The High Court on Wednesday heard a constitutional challenge against a law that criminalises sex acts between men.
At the end of the closed-door hearing, Justice Quentin Loh reserved judgment.
The case was brought by Mr Tan Eng Hong, 49, who had first filed a challenge against Section 377A of the Penal Code in 2010, after he was charged for having oral sex with another man in a a public toilet.
The Attorney-General's Chambers applied to strike out his bid but in August last year, the Court of Appeal allowed Mr Tan to have his day in court.
