Plea in Rajasthan High Court against OBC classification of transgender persons over horizontal reservation

A petition was filed in the Rajasthan High Court seeking horizontal reservation for transgender persons under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category. The petition argues that transgender persons should be classified as a separate category under OBC for reservation purposes, as they face discrimination and marginalization in society. The case challenges existing classification norms and advocates for the inclusion of transgender individuals in the OBC category to ensure their access to reservation benefits in educational institutions and government jobs. The petition highlights the need for inclusive policies to address the rights of transgender people.
