Delhi High Court orders swift action on transgender welfare benefits, with key job exam relaxations pending approval.

The Delhi High Court has urged immediate implementation of welfare benefits for transgender individuals, criticizing the delay in enforcing a 2014 Supreme Court ruling and 2019 law. It directed authorities to decide within ten days whether to apply a 2021 Delhi government notification offering a five-year age relaxation and 5% mark relaxation in public job exams. If approved, the deadline for DSSSB Advertisement No. 03/2025 will be extended by one month and widely publicized. The case, involving a petition by Praveen Singh, will be heard again on November 19, 2025, with the Union of India, Delhi Government, and National Council for Transgender Persons as respondents.
