Sub: Submission of reservation/cancellation requisition form.

Hon’ble Supreme Court in WP(Civil) No.400 of 2012 with 604 of 2013 titled as National Legal services Authority VS. UOI & Others has inter-alia directed: that Hijras, Eunuchs, apart from binary gender, be treated as “third gender” for the purpose of safeguarding their rights under Part III of our constitution and the laws made by the Parliament and the State Legislature. It has, therefore, been decided to include the third gender/transgender option alongside male/female in reservation cancellation requisition form. This information will be captured by the system and tickets to transgender will be issued on full fare.
