Mental Health Care Act (MHCA) 2017 on mentally ill prisoners
Section 103 of the MHCA 2017 gives the responsibilities of the prison staff in taking care of prisoners with mental illness (25). In case a prisoner needs admission for mental health care in mental health establishment, then the transfer has to be made. In cases wherein admission in psychiatric ward in the medical wing of the prison is needed, but there is no provision for a psychiatric ward, the patient may be transferred to a mental health establishment with prior permission of the ward. The medical officer of the prison needs to send quarterly report to the concerned board certifying therein that no prisoner with mental illness is in the prison or jail. The appropriate Government are expected to establish mental health establishment in the medical wing of at least one prison in each state and union territory which needs to be registered under Central or State Mental Health Authority.

The Transgender Persons (Protection of rights) act, 2019 defines a Transgender person as any person whose expressed gender does not match with the gender assigned to that person at birth and includes trans-man or trans-woman (whether or not such person has undergone Sex Reassignment Surgery or hormone therapy or laser therapy or such other therapy), a person with intersex variations, genderqueer and person having such socio-cultural identities as Kinner, Hijra, Aravani and Jogta
the honourable Supreme Court in a landmark judgement dated 15th April 2014 granted
legal recognition for “third gender”. It placed one’s gender identity within the framework of the fundamental right to dignity under Article 21 and held that all individuals including transgender persons were entitled to fundamental rights under Articles 14, 15, 16, 19(1)(a), and 21 of the Constitution.
