Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a Miscellaneous Application seeking to include Ms. Aparna Mehrotra as a member of an Advisory Committee constituted to work on transgender rights. The Court noted that the previously appointed member, Ms. Nithya Rajshekhar, was no longer associated with the Centre for Law and Policy Research but allowed her to continue on the Committee in recognition of her extensive work. Additionally, the Court appointed Ms. Aparna Mehrotra as a new member to represent the Centre, ensuring the Committee's effective functioning and continued scholarship in transgender rights. The order reflects the Court's commitment to inclusive representation and expert participation in advisory roles concerning human rights issues.
