Punjab and Haryana High Court provides separate toilets for transgender persons

The High Court forwarded the request made by lawyer to the Chief Architect of Chandigarh and asked to review the request in light of the judgment by Supreme Court in the case of National Legal Services Authority Vs. Union of India, 2014 and The Transgender Person (Protection of Rights) ACT, 2019.

“…figure out the feasibility for providing toilet for Transgender in the premises of this Court by making a joint exercise/inspection and thereafter, they shall submit the feasibility report to this Committee, immediately,” the letter by Registrar to Chief Architect stated.

Subsequently, a collective of five toilets were designated for use by transgender persons at various location in High Court premises.
