[Transwoman's plea against exclusion of transgender persons from NCC enrollment] Kerala High Court will hear the matter on Thursday next week.
barandbench.com/news/litigatio…
Today, the Court queried the Central Government Counsel on why the petitioner's application for enrollment as a female was being denied.

This was unacceptable, especially as the person identified as female and the female category was recognised by the NCC Act.
The Counsel submitted that the NCC's objections were to the fact that she was a transperson, but that he needed further instructions on the exact nature of their objections.
The matter will therefore be taken up on Thursday next week (November 12).

#BombayHighCourt issues notice in plea filed by Hansa Research Group challenging the harassment by the Crime Branch, Mumbai Police.

The Court asks Sr. Adv. Devdutt Kamat appearing for the Mumbai Police Commissioner to give their stand on this.

@MumbaiPolice
@CPMumbaiPolice
Sr. Adv. CS Vaidyanathan submits that it doesn’t make sense to call the employees everyday for interrogation.

Whatever documents they want, Hansa is ready to provide, he submitted.

Kamat: Milords, this petition is unfair to the Court. Kindly see the petition.
Court: Kamat, we will hear the petition. But in the interregnum, you can not call them everyday. They are complainants not the accused.

Kamat: The case papers of investigation were before Milords, so Milords. Knows that there is evidence against them
