Centre seeks transfer of challenges to Transgender Amendment Act from High Courts to Supreme Court

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta sought an early listing of the transfer petition before a Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi. He suggested that High Courts could be requested to defer proceedings in the meantime. “We have filed transfer petitions to transfer the challenge to Transgender Amendment Act here in this Court. Can the transfer petition be listed on Friday? If notice also goes, we can ask High Courts to wait,” Mehta submitted.
