The court was hearing pleas by Grace Banu Ganesan and Rizwan Bharathi, both working for the rights of trans persons, seeking to frame and implement a horizontal reservation policy for transgender and intersex persons in public employment and education. The petition had also sought directions to the Tamil Nadu State Transgender Welfare Board to issue identity cards to transgender and intersex persons allowing them to avail these reservations, in accordance with the principle of self-identification of gender identity and which should not require medical re-assignment, mental health assessment, hormone or any other treatment as a pre-condition and without any biological examination. Kothari suggested that the State could consider providing 1% horizontal reservation to transgender persons like the state of Karnataka.
