Supreme Court issues notice on PIL seeking welfare board for transgenders
The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice on a petition, seeking direction to the Centre and the state governments to establish a ‘Transgender Welfare Board,’ to address the social welfare issues of transgender people.
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde, Justice AS Bopanna and Justice V Ramasubramanian sought the response of the Centre and the states on a plea, which also sought directions to appoint a standing committee comprising Station House Officers and human rights & social activists to investigate the reports of gross abuses against transgender people by the police.
