Judge's uncalled for remarks against trans people draw HC fire
Tuesday, 16 January 2024
Bombay HC criticizes sessions court judge's order for making "uncalled for" observations against trans persons. HC judge states that transgenders are citizens of this country and are protected under the right to life and liberty. The sessions court's order, which made generalizing and stereotypical remarks about transgenders, should not have been recorded. "Transgenders are getting bolder by the day, and rowdier and nastier. Safety of the public is at high risk at every public place because of transgenders. Therefore, fear or hatred for transgenders is not without a reason, for men it is worst (sic)," session court said.
