The New Indian Express Tirupati
|October 18, 2025
IN a significant verdict, the Supreme Court on Friday awarded compensation to a transwoman whose appointment as a teacher was terminated by two private schools in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, respectively, based on her gender identity.
The court directed the Cen-tre, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat governments and the school in Gujarat to pay 750,000 each to the petitioner for the discrimination she faced.
“We have awarded compensation for the way she was handled, and her services were terminated. We have taken serious cognisance of the matter,” said a bench headed by Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan.
