The plea states that in the absence of technical and operations protocols for gender-affirming procedures, the mandate of Section 15 of the Transgender Persons Act would be defeated. The petitioner thus pointed out that the failure to formulate proper operational and technical protocols was a violation of transgender persons' fundamental right to self-determination of their gender identity and gender expression under Article 19 of the Constitution and is also a violation of Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution.
