#Transgender Rights

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that custodial interrogation is unwarranted when an accused's name is absent from the FIR, granting anticipatory bail to a transgender applicant. The ruling underscores that mere apprehension of arrest without prima facie evidence does not justify detention, reinforcing protections under Section 438 CrPC for marginalized communities.

Rajasthan High Court rules that merely subsuming transgender persons under OBC reservation violates the NALSA judgment, directing the state to implement a 3% horizontal quota and form a committee to design inclusive policies. The ruling sets a precedent for affirmative action beyond vertical reservations, impacting constitutional rights and state obligations under Articles 14, 15, and 16.
