National legal services authority (NALSA) VS Union of India famously known as the NALSA case has a huge implication on the right of transgenders and set forward a very progressive landmark judgment by the Supreme Court Of India.
Judgment of the Supreme Court in the NALSA Case
The court has directed the Center and the State Government to recognize the transgender as the third gender, the court also clarified that the fundamental rights are equally available to the third gender as they are available to males and females in the country.
The apex court briefed that non-recognition of their gender identity violates Articles 14, 15, 16, 19, and 21 of the Constitution of India.
It is the right of all the person to self-identify their gender and no third-gender person should be subjected to any medical examination or biological test which could lead to harm to their privacy as said by the court.
The Supreme Court made a very progressive judgment by rejecting gender identification based on biological sex and gave full importance and acceptance to identification based on psychological sex.
Transgenders are also entitled to reservation in educational institutions and public employment as they are considered socially and educationally backward classes.
It is the responsibility of the Central and the State government to take steps to create public awareness to incorporate transgenders as part of society equally dignified and respected as other genders and end their untouchable treatment of them.
The problem such as fear, shame, social pressure, depression, and suicidal tendencies has to be removed by the government.
The apex court also directed the Centre and State Governments to operate separate HIV Zero-Surveillance Centres, separate public toilets, and appropriate medical care in hospitals for transgenders.
