Asks police to protect woman choosing to live with partner
In what may come as a huge relief for transgenders, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court recently directed the Commissioner of Aurangabad to safeguard and protect a girl until she reaches her transgender partner. A division bench Sunil Deshmukh and Nitin Suryawanshi was hearing a criminal petition filed through advocate Sutej Jadhav on behalf of a 29-year-old transgender who has chosen male as his gender. He is from Rajasthan, works in the hospitality sector in Goa and is currently staying in a shelter home for transgenders in Mumbai. He met the girl on social media in June 2019 and they eventually confessed their love for each other. However, when lockdown was announced she moved back to Osmanabad with her family. When she did not score enough marks for postgraduate studies, her parents refused to fund her further education. Her brother helped her get into an institute in Allahabad for a correspondence course.
