Karnataka HC restrains use of ‘strip and search’ in transgender survey
Millennium Post Delhi
|October 16, 2025
The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday barred the state government officials conducting the ongoing 'transgender survey' from using any "strip and search" method to identify participants.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C M Poonacha also directed that all information gathered, since the survey began on September 15, must remain confidential and not be disclosed to any third party.
The court was hearing a petition filed by the Anita Humanitarian Foundation, which sought to quash government notifications authorising the 'Gender Minority Survey'.
The foundation argued that the exercise violated the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, as well as Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution.
