Calcutta High Court orders 1% reservation for transgender people in West Bengal public employment.
Calcutta High Court orders West Bengal govt to provide 1% reservation for transgender people in public employment, following a petition from a transgender individual who passed Teachers' Eligibility Test but wasn't called for counseling/interview.
