Breaking: Bombay High Court Orders Maha Govt To Direct Educational Institutions To Enable Retrospective Name & Gender Change For Transgender Persons @CourtUnquote #BombayHighCourt #LGBTQIA livelaw.in/top-stories/bo…
The court observed that "an institute (cannot) be permitted to force upon the Petitioner a name, identity or a gender that the Petitioner has chosen to reject in preference to some other,"

#BombayHighCourt #TransgenderRights #LGBTQ
A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale passed the order on transgender person's plea to retrospectively change their name in Tata Institute of Social Science's records and issue fresh certificates.
Bench took strong exception to TISS's condition that the pet. 1st change his name in all previous records.

#LGBTQ #TISS #BombayHighCourt
"Approach is simply wrong. It fails to recognize that questions of identity, self-identification and gender perception do not happen at a biologically definable point in time. These are matters of self-realisation without predictable time frames"

Same-Sex Marriage| "Matter not b/w Govt and #SupremeCourt, it concerns citizens of India. It is a question of people's will. The will of the people is reflected in Parliament, state assemblies and in forums where elected people are there": Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) Image
"If 5 wise men, decide something which is correct according to them, I can't make any kind of any adverse comment. But if people don't want it, you can't impose things on people. A sensitive matter like the institution of marriage has to be decided by the people of the country."
"#SupremeCourt can issues directions, fill vacuum but when it comes to a matter which affects every citizen of the country, then the Court is not the forum to decide on behalf of the people of the country": Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju)
