The Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd (MSETCL) recently filed a reply in the Bombay High court opposing the plea by a transgender person, who is seeking directions to the company to provide reservation for jobs for the transgender community.
The state-run company said there is no Constitutional or statutory reservation for transgender persons so its decision to refuse the same was as per law. It added that the firm allows transgender persons to apply for jobs therein by choosing a gender other than male or female. It added that all individuals, including transgender persons, can avail only those reservations provided in the Constitution or statutes as per eligibility and sought rejection of the plea.
