Rajasthan High Court Deletes Earlier Remarks on Transgender Bill, Issues Clarificatory Order

The Rajasthan High Court issued a clarificatory order deleting certain earlier remarks made on the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, and replacing them with fresh observations.

The Court clarified that its main judgment must be complied with in accordance with the legal position existing at the time of the ruling.

The case arose from a plea challenging a 2023 Rajasthan notification classifying transgender persons as OBC.

While earlier observations had criticised the amendment’s impact on self-identity rights, the revised order limits such remarks and stresses that any policy framework must remain within the contours of prevailing law.
