Abstract
The notions to guard to its citizens of Justice, Equality and Unity have been prime motto under the Constitution of India. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) faces much legal as well as social discrimination attributed to their gender identity. Though such difficulties owe much to the social attitude, the lack of legal recognition is a crucial aspect of such blatant discriminations. This article throws light on the status of transgender in India. Despite the hostile treatment towards LGBTQ the current legal arena shows the changing perspective and acceptability of society towards these marginalised groups, starting from the judgment in NALSA case, where the Supreme Court have acknowledged the travesty of their being and emphasised on their constitutional rights, to the recent development in the Navtej Singh Johar case. The paper covers the judicial response regarding the of sexual minorities with specific reference to transgender. Further it attempts an analysis of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019 which was introduced in the backdrop of the NALSA judgment.
