The writ petition prayed for separate vacancies for transgender persons in teaching positions in schools, including reservation and relaxation in the age and minimum qualifications. The writ petition sought implementation of the provisions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000343771\" target=\"_blank\">Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019<\/a> (TPPR Act) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000703598\" target=\"_blank\">Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules, 2020<\/a> (TPPR Rules) in the Delhi Government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The writ petition sought to direct the Delhi Government to consider the petitioner&#8217;s application for any vacancy in a teaching position, whether notified or to be notified by the Government, irrespective of gender.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2025\/07\/17\/delhi-transgender-persons-rules-2025-scc-times\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delhi Govt. notifies Rules to empower Transgender Persons through inclusive governance, schemes, and equal opportunity<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">At the outset, the Court stated that, during the pendency of the said petition, the petitioner had previously preferred a writ petition under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001575141\" target=\"_blank\">32<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution of India<\/a>.

In addition to issuing binding directions, the Court constituted an Advisory Committee chaired by Justice (Retd.) Asha Menon to study and make recommendations on equal opportunity policy, gaps in the TPPR Act and Rules, reasonable accommodation in public spaces, grievance redressal mechanisms, gender and name change procedures, inclusive medical care, and protections for gender non-conforming and gender diverse persons. The Advisory Committee is presently working on the aspects within its remit, including the formulation of a model equal opportunity policy in employment and education.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2025\/10\/15\/del-hc-on-reservation-for-transgender-persons-in-public-employment\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delhi High Court flags lack of policy decision on providing reservation to transgender persons in public employment<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that several issues raised before the High Court have already been exhaustively addressed in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Jane Kaushik<\/span> (supra).
