Further, the Court pointed that the Parliament had enacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000343771\" target=\"_blank\">Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019<\/a> (&#8216;the Act&#8217;) and had also framed Rules thereunder, however, the welfare measures, which should have been made pursuant to the statutory obligations cast on the Governments under the said Act, have also not been made.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After perusing the provisions of the Act, the Court opined that for inclusion of the transgender persons in the society and to secure their full and effective participation, the Governments ought to have, by now, taken some policy decision for providing reservation to these persons in public employment as already mandated by the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">NALSA<\/span> case (supra).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Considering that the Department of Social Welfare, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi&#8217;s notification dated 8-2-2021, which provided for relaxation of 5 years in age and of qualifying marks to the extent of 5 per cent to the transgender persons in public employment, the Court highlighted that many transgender persons may not have been able to apply because admissible age relaxation and relaxation in qualifying marks were not made available to them. Thus, the Court directed that appropriate decision should be taken for providing the benefit to transgender persons in consultation with the Delhi High Court and if such relaxations are to be made available, then the last date for submitting the application form should be extended by a month. Further, such information should then also be widely publicized by the Delhi Subordinate Selection Board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court listed the matter on 19-11-2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Praveen Singh v.
