New Delhi, 15 April 2014
The Supreme court on Tuesday recognized transgenders as the ‘third gender’. The SC also directed the Centre and state governments to treat them as socially and economically backward classes, and also to provide reservation in jobs and education and provide medical facilities to transgenders. This is one of the historic judgements by the Supreme Court of India wherein it has tried to bring transgenders at par with the status of the male and the female.
