JAMMU, Mar 5: In a PIL filed by Mian Haji Saria seeking direction to the respondents to ensure compliance of fundamental “Right to Education” in letter and spirit and admission of “Trans-Genders” in educational institutions, Division Bench of High Court comprising Chief Justice MM Kumar and Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar today directed the General Administration Department to file objections within one month.
In the PIL filed through Advocate D S Chouhan, it has been submitted that the petitioner approached private schools for admission of two trans-genders namely Komal and Shammiu, after purchasing the admission forms, but suffered humiliating defeat when denied admission on the basis of their being “Trans-genders”.
“The educational career of the trans-genders has been put to jeopardy because of discriminatory attitude of the management of private institutions”, Advocate Chouhan said.
