Navy offers private job to transgender

December 07, 2017 01:57 am | Updated 01:57 am IST - New Delhi

The Navy on Wednesday offered a job in a private company to a transgender ex-sailor, who was removed from service after he underwent a sex change surgery to become a female. The offer was made by the Navy in the Delhi High Court. It said that while there was no job in the Navy for the former sailor, it could facilitate her to get employed as a data entry operator in a private company.

Senior advocate Anand Grover, appearing for the ex-sailor, said the offered job paid much less than what his client was getting while on the rolls of the Navy. The Bench listed the matter for hearing on December 15.
