Overview

• The court asked the Centre and all states to detail how they will implement reservation for transgender persons while hearing a NEET‑PG petition by two transgender doctors.
• An interim plea to set aside specific seats in the All‑India quota and in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh was declined as the bench pressed for a policy benefiting all eligible candidates.
• Justice PS Narasimha emphasized that the NALSA mandate requires clear quantification of reservation, prompting a call for responses on possible All‑India seat numbers.
• The Union government maintained that transgender persons should use existing SC, ST, OBC or EWS categories, opposing a separate quota for the community.
• In a parallel development, the Delhi High Court converted a DSSSB recruitment challenge into a PIL, directed the Delhi government to act within 10 days on extending notified relaxations, and said deadlines must be extended by a month with wide publicity if those relaxations are applied.
