The Business Guardian|February 05, 2024
The Supreme Court in the case Jane Kaushik vs. Union Of India observed and has expressed concerns over the treatment meted out to a transgender teacher who had been terminated from her appointment by the two private schools in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.

The bench headed by CJI DY Chandrachud was hearing the writ petition filed by the teacher challenging her termination, expressed, that something has to be done for her, the moment she gets employed, she is terminated on the grounds that she is a transgender, Uttar Pradesh did it, Gujarat did it.

The counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted before the court that the issue of social stigma that the teacher had been facing in the women’s hostel and how the school environment has been unwelcoming the sexual identity of her.

The court stated that though the management was aware that she is a transwoman, she had been living with the students in the women’s hostel, but the moment it is out that she is a transwoman and they terminate her. The said issue is that this is a learnt behaviour. Thus, they cannot accept the fact that she is a transwoman.
