Mumbai: An eunuch has moved the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) seeking the right to vote for his community and transgenders in the forthcoming state Assembly polls.
In the four-page complaint, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi termed the denial of Right to vote as gross violation of Human Rights in the state.
Supported by a group of four law students, Tripathi demanded that the state government should extend the fundamental right of voting to eunuchs and transgenders.
