Last year, Justice A K Sikri and K S Radhakrishnan had passed the landmark judgement. The apex court had also asked the government to treat the 'third gender' as socially and economically backward.

Social activist Swami Agnivesh also joined the celebrations and lauded the transgender community for pledging to donate their eyes.
