The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has delivered a significant judgment that transcends the immediate facts of an anticipatory bail application to address the systemic marginalisation and deprivation of constitutional rights faced by the transgender community in Tamil Nadu. In V. Sarathkumar v. The State, Justice K.K. Ramakrishnan granted anticipatory bail to a YouTuber charged under Section 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, while simultaneously issuing comprehensive directions to the Government of Tamil Nadu to formulate and implement welfare schemes for transgender persons at the taluk level.
