In Jane Kaushik v. Union of India & Ors. (2025), the Supreme Court strongly criticized the Union and State governments for their failure to implement the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, calling such inaction “intentional” and a violation of constitutional equality. The petitioner, a transgender teacher, faced harassment and discrimination in two schools in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Court held that the schools and governments failed to provide reasonable accommodation and effective grievance redressal as mandated by law. It directed the Union and concerned States to pay ₹50,000 each as compensation to the petitioner and ordered nationwide compliance within three months, including appointment of Complaint Officers, formation of Transgender Welfare Boards, and establishment of protection cells. The Court also set up a high-level committee headed by Justice Asha Menon (Retd.) to frame a comprehensive Equal Opportunity Policy for transgender persons within six months.
