Trans-Genders of that locality. A perusal of the representation submitted by the petitioner reveals that he is developing hatredness towards Trans-Genders in that locality, which is unconstitutional and the representation itself is directly in violation of Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution of India. The Nainarkuppam Panchayat has passed a resolution on 07.04.2023, which is also unconstitutional and in violation of the fundamental rights ensured to the citizen of our great nation. The reasons stated in the representation causes concern to the mind of this Court and therefore, the petitioner is directed to be present before this Court and explain under what circumstances the resolution was passed by Panchayat and also produce the copy of the same. The President of the Nainarkuppam Panchayat / petitioner has to file an affidavit to explain under what authority of law, he has given such representation to the District Collector, and passed resolution in the Panchayat.
