The Kerala High Court on Monday ruled in favour of a transgender woman who sorted the court s intervention for admission into the National Cadet Corps, the youth wing of the Indian armed forces. In its ruling, the court said that the fact that the NCC act does not recognize the third gender cannot be a reasonable justification to deny entry to a trans person.

Kochi: In a landmark judgment, the Kerala High Court allowed a transwoman to enroll in the National Cadet Corps (NCC) on the basis of self-identified gender.
Justice Anu Sivaraman gave the order after receiving a plea from a transwoman, challenging a Section of the National Cadet Corps Act, 1948, which excludes the transgender community from enrollment with the NCC.
In its order, the court said the petitioner is entitled to enrollment in the NCC senior girls division and the denial of the request of the petitioner for such enrollment is completely unsustainable. Observing that the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2019 recognises the right of transgender persons to a life of dignity, the Court said the provisions of the NCC Act cannot prelude its operation.
