Synopsis
Patnaik, while asking a supplementary question on transgenders, stressed that the government had passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in 2019 but then the Upper House had expressed concern that it was not aligned with the IPC.
The government informed Parliament on Wednesday it will consider a Rajya Sabha member s suggestion to provide separate facility to transgenders in prisons. As of now, Indian Penal Code (IPC) is applicable uniformly on every citizen. We will consider the member s suggestion to have a special focus on transgenders, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Rattan Lal Kataria said during Question Hour in the Upper House.

High court of Kerala
KOCHI: Ordering for allowing a transgender to join National Cadet Corps (NCC), the high court has directed for amending the law to include transgenders in NCC.
Justice Anu Sivaraman issued the directive after considering a petition filed by Hina Haneefa, a student of University College in Thiruvananthapuram. The court said the fact that NCC Act does not recognize the third gender or that detailed guidelines are to be introduced for the integration of persons of third gender into NCC cannot be a justification for denying entry for the petitioner.
Ruling that denial of enrolment to NCC is unsustainable, the court said the petitioner is entitled to participate in the selection process and to be enrolled in NCC if she is successful.
