In Brief
The Supreme Court modified the composition of an Advisory Committee constituted in a transgender rights petition. When the original member representing the Centre for Law and Policy Research left the organisation, the Court added a new member from the Centre while retaining the original member in her individual capacity. The Court held that advisory committee membership is grounded in substantive expertise and contribution, not solely on institutional affiliation. The decision balances continuity of individual expertise with institutional representation from research institutions assisting the Court.
