The Allahabad High Court has directed the Director General of Police, Lucknow, to address the pending application of a female police Constable Seeking Permission for Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS). The constable, who identifies as male while being in a female body, cited the Supreme Court's judgment recognizing the constitutional right of individuals to be recognized as male or female. The court emphasized the importance of recognizing this right and ordered the state government to provide an affidavit on any rules or acts that have been framed in relation to transgender rights. The matter will be taken up by the court on September 21, 2023.
