The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought the Centre’s stand on two petitions challenging provisions of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, 2026, claiming that the amendment replaces self-identified gender identity recognised by the Supreme Court, with State-determined identity through medical and administrative processes. A Bench comprising Chief Justice D. K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia issued notice on petitions by Chandresh Jain and Lakshay Jain and asked the Centre to file its reply within six weeks. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, was passed by Parliament on March 25 and received assent from President Droupadi Murmu on March 30.
