Supreme Court Grants Interim Protection To Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi In FIR Over Instagram Clip With “Ae Khoon Ke Pyase Baat Suno” Poem

The Supreme Court of India issued a warning to several states, imposing a ₹20,000 cost if they failed to respond to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking the establishment of Transgender Welfare Boards. The PIL argued that states were neglecting their responsibility under the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring the welfare and rights of transgender individuals, who have often been marginalized. It directed that states must take immediate action to form these welfare boards, which would help in addressing the issues of transgender persons. The Court's ruling reflected its commitment to ensuring equal rights and protections for marginalized communities, as mandated by law.
