[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).
