SC Forms Panel on Transgender Persons
On 17th October 2025, in a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court (SC) expressed concern about the “grossly apathetic attitude” shown by the Centre and the state governments towards integrating transgender persons into the mainstream and formed a committee to formulate a national equal opportunity policy.
The Case
- The ruling was delivered while hearing a petition filed by Jane Kaushik, a transwoman teacher who alleged that she was forced to resign from a school in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, in December 2022, and subsequently denied employment by another school in Gujarat in July 2023, both owing to her gender identity.
