The New Indian Express Bengaluru|December 21, 2024

Until then, NLSIU has to provide reservation of 0.5 per cent (half the percentage of reservation provided for transgenders in employment under the state) as interim reservation with a fee waiver and for which NLSIU may apply to the state or central government for the appropriate grant, the high court added.

At the same time, the court said the state can take note of claims for reservation for transgenders in education also, and formulate reservation and fee reimbursement policy as contained in the judgment of the apex court in NALSA's case.
