NCC eligibility: Kerala HC pulls up Centre for denying admission to Transgender person [Read Order]

The Kerala High Court, on Thursday, took exception to the stance taken by the Central government that it cannot admit a Transgender person to National Cadet Corps (NCC) since only males and females are eligible for the same (Hina Haneefa v. Union of India).

A single-judge Bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran said that the stance by the centre cannot be acceded to in the light of Kerala's Transgender Policy as well as the applicable statute.
