Patna: Application forms issued by the Bihar government for an exam to fill up constable posts in the state did not have the option for candidates to identify themselves as members of the third gender, leading the Patna high court to rebuke the government over the exclusion.
Patna-based Veera Yadav (30) had filed an appeal in the high court in the first week of December highlighting that there was no separate column for the third gender in constable exam application forms.
