Chief Justice of Telangana High Court Ujjal Bhuyan on Monday sought to know if the National Medical Commission (NMC) did not want a transgender to become a medical super specialist.
The CJ, along with Justice N. Tukaramji, was hearing a writ petition filed by a transgender student challenging an order issued by NMC with regard to admissions in PG medical course. The petitioner belonging to Scheduled Caste community had reservation in securing PG medical seat.
The petitioner, a transgender, was also seeking reservation within reservation as a member of the third gender. Opposing this, counsel for NMC G. Sri Ranga Pujitha contended that the petitioner already had availed reservation and she had to secure instructions on further course of action over the petitioner’s claim.
