Kerala HC heard the counsel appearing for the transwoman and the Central Government.
The petitioner was aggrieved that she was not being allowed to enroll as a cadet on account of her gender.
At the hearing today, the Counsel for the Central Government contended that the petitioner could not challenge the constitutionality of the provision since she had chosen to identify as a woman. She could choose the female option when enrolling, he asserted.
Advocate Raghul Sudheesh countered this stating that she was denied enrollment on account of her being a transgender who 'identified as a woman'.
Justice Devan Ramachandran, who heard the matter, posted it for further hearing on Friday.
The Counsel for Central Government was directed to get instructions on how and why exactly the petitioner was denied enrollment.
