The navy on Wednesday offered a job in a private company, which works for the government, to a transgender ex-sailor who was removed from service after she underwent a sex change surgery to become a woman. The offer was made by the Indian Navy in the Delhi high court before a bench of Justices G S Sistani and V K Rao. It said that while there was no job in the naval force for the former sailor, it could facilitate her to get employed as a data entry operator in a private company. The court was hearing the ex-sailor’s plea challenging an October 6 order of the Navy removing her from service. The navy had removed her from service as women are not employed as sailors.
