In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court in Jane Kaushik v. Union of India advanced equal rights for transgender persons, reaffirming the constitutional vision of equality, dignity, and inclusion.

The discussion will explore the scope and implications of this ruling, and its potential to transform how the law addresses structural discrimination against transgender persons in India.
