The court also did not consider the preferences of the girl cadets on being faced with the need of community life with a transgender, who has got totally different physical and psychological factors, it said.
Sreerag, through his counsel Advocate K Arjun Venugopal asserts in his appeal that Haneefa should be admitted only under the category of transgender or third gender. To allow the entry of the petitioner to the corps on par with biological girls would be grossly unfair, the appellant contended.

NCC was yet to file an appeal in the case.
