Take steps on formulating SOP for arresting transgender person: HC to Centre, Delhi Police

The Delhi High Court has directed authorities to create a Standard Operating Procedure. This procedure will govern the arrest and detention of transgender individuals in the city. The court considered an advisory from the National Human Rights Commission on this matter. A law student's petition highlighted the absence of specific guidelines for transgender persons. Authorities must now file an affidavit detailing compliance steps taken.
