Karnataka High Court Questions 12-Year Delay in Transgender Education Quota Implementation. Karnataka Transgender Education Quota has come into sharp focus after the Karnataka High Court questioned the state government over its nearly 12-year delay in implementing reservation for transgender persons in educational institutions. The court observed that despite the Supreme Court’s landmark 2014 NALSA judgment recognising transgender rights and directing affirmative action, the policy has still not been implemented in Karnataka. During the hearing, the High Court sought an explanation from the state government for the prolonged delay and stressed the need to uphold the constitutional rights of transgender persons. The case highlights concerns over equal access to education and the implementation of inclusive policies for marginalised communities. In a related development, the High Court has also directed Karnataka State Law University to provide reservation and relax eligibility criteria for transgender candidates in upcoming LL.B. admissions, signalling the judiciary’s continued push for inclusive education.
