Karnataka HC questions 12-year delay in education quota for transgender persons

Karnataka High Court questioned the state government for its delayed implementation of transgender reservation in educational institutions. A transgender student's admission denial to NLSIU Bangalore initiated the legal proceedings for this reservation policy. The court emphasized the Supreme Court's 2014 NALSA ruling, which mandated such reservations for transgender individuals. Karnataka already provides reservation in government jobs, making the education sector's delay questionable.
