Summary
On a miscellaneous application by the Amicus Curiae, the Court added a Senior Associate of the Centre for Law and Policy Research to the Advisory Committee on transgender rights constituted by its judgment of 17.10.2025, while clarifying that the earlier member, who had left the Centre, would continue on the Committee.
Issues
- Whether a further member should be appointed to the Advisory Committee constituted by the judgment dated 17.10.2025 to represent the Centre for Law and Policy Research, given that the existing member was no longer an Associate with the Centre.
Held
- No question of law was decided. Noting her extensive work on transgender rights, the Court clarified that the member originally nominated to represent the Centre would remain on the Advisory Committee even though she had left the Centre. (¶¶ 2, 3)
- In the interest of the Committee's functioning, the Court appointed a Senior Associate of the Centre as an additional member to represent the Centre and its scholarship on transgender rights. (¶ 4)
Result
Miscellaneous application disposed of with the direction appointing the additional member to the Advisory Committee.
