Problem(For question)Rules A: The State shall not discriminate, either...
Direct Discrimination under Rule B:
- The second order made by the Governor requiring the release of all persons under the age of 25 and over the age of 65 who were serving a sentence of less than one year's imprisonment is considered directly discriminatory.
- This is because it treats individuals based on their age, which is a prohibited ground under the rules.
- By specifically targeting individuals based on their age, the order is treating them less favorably compared to others in a comparable situation who do not fall within the specified age brackets.

Violation of Rule A:
- The order directly discriminates against individuals based on their age, which is one of the prohibited grounds under Rule A.
- The State is not allowed to discriminate on the grounds of age, as mentioned in the rules.
- Therefore, the second order made by the Governor goes against the non-discrimination principle outlined in Rule A.

Conclusion:
- In conclusion, the second order made by the Governor is directly discriminatory as it treats individuals based on their age, which is a prohibited ground under the rules.
- The order violates the non-discrimination principle outlined in Rule A and is not justifiable under Rule D.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Directly discriminatory.

On 26th November 2019, the Rajya Sabha passed the bill on protection of rights of transgender. The Lok Sabha passed the Bill on August 5, 2019. It seeks to recognise transgender persons, and confer anti-discriminatory rights and entitlements related to education, employment, health, and welfare measures. Key Provisions of the Act: It defines a transgender person as one whose gender does not match the gender assigned at birth. It includes trans-men and trans-women, persons with intersex variations, gender-queers, and persons with socio-cultural identities, such as kinnar and hijra. Intersex variations is defined to mean a person who at birth shows variation in his or her primary sexual characteristics, external genitalia, chromosomes, or hormones from the normative standard of male or female body. It provides for ‘self-perceived gender identity’ i.e. persons can determine their gender on their own. This is in line with a Supreme Court verdict in NALSA vs Union of India, 2014, which held that the self determination of one’s gender is part of the fundamental right to dignity, freedom and personal autonomy guaranteed under the Constitution. Transgender person may make an application to the (x)for a certificate of identity, indicating the gender as ‘transgender’. A revised certificate may be obtained only if the individual undergoes surgery to change their gender either as a male or a female. It prohibits discrimination against a transgender person, including denial of service or unfair treatment in relation to: (i) education; (ii) employment; (iii) healthcare; (iv) access to, or enjoyment of goods, facilities, opportunities available to the public; (v) right to movement; (vi) right to reside, rent, or otherwise occupy property; (vii) opportunity to hold public or private office; and (viii) access to a government or private establishment in whose care or custody a transgender person is. Every transgender person shall have a right to reside and be included in his household. If the immediate family is unable to care for the transgender person, the person may be placed in a rehabilitation centre, on the orders of a competent court. No government or private entity can discriminate against a transgender person in employment matters, including recruitment, and promotion. Every establishment is required to designate a person to be a complaint officer to deal with complaints in relation to the Act. Educational institutions funded or recognised by the basis of a certificate of identity issued by a district magistrate and proof of surgery contradicts NALSA verdict. Also, there are no avenues open either for appeal in the event a magistrate refuses to hand out such a certificate. Problem with Nomenclature: India’s LGBTQI community wants nomenclature to be ‘Transgender Persons, InterSex and Gender Non-conforming Act’ instead of just ‘Transgender Persons’ as it puts all persons under one binary without giving adequate space to the diversity included within the non-binaries. Disappointment: People are disappointed by the silence on unnecessary and non-consensual sex selective or reassignment surgeries, despite the plea that it be made an offence. No Clarity: Lack of clarity on anti-discriminatory clause makes it difficult to take a legal recourse. It is not clear how the transgender will be treated under existing criminal and civil laws which recognize only two categories, i.e. man and woman. Additionally, the penalties of similar offences may also vary due to gender identity.Q.Which of the following is replaced by(X) in the passage?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.India banned 250+ Chinese apps under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, and justifying its move, the government cited the reasons of apps engaging in activities which were prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order. The Chinese Foreign Ministry has through its press release alleged India of violating the WTO rules.World Trade Organisation (WTO) is the chief body that looks into discriminatory trade practices. It was formed by Marrakesh Agreement which succeeded the erstwhile General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs, 1947 (GATS). As far as the obligations are concerned, every member state is mandated to maintain anti-discriminatory policies and keep their markets open access based markets. Services under GATS are defined as any service in any sector except services supplied in the exercise of governmental authority and thus incorporate within its definition all kinds of services as long as they are commercial in nature. However, the question that is often raised is - Are Internet-based services covered by GATS?When we talk of e-commerce, then such activities are indeed under the GATS agreement as they require physical delivery, but when it comes to purely Internet-based services like Facebook and search engines, they were generally seen as exceptions until the US-Gambling dispute which applied the provisions of the GATS to online gambling and thus cleared the classification of online services under GATS.As long as such restrictions have the same impact on all the domestic and foreign states, there is no case of National Treatment obligation breach. However, as in the present case, only China looks to have been disadvantaged, it is pressing for charges of discriminatory tactics. As per Article XVI of the GATS, member states are prohibited from imposing quantitative restrictions in areas where they have undertaken such commitments. In this case, the present ban can be seen as a quota restriction.But would that make Indias move look like a contradiction to the obligations? The answer is - No because just like every other obligation, there exist certain exceptions. The GATS obligations of member states may sometimes conflict with national defence and security interests and hence Article XXI provides a list of security exceptions to the obligations that are imposed under GATS. When we interpret this provision, we can clearly say that Indias move has been in no way violative, as it is clearly protected as an exception.[Extracted with edits and revisions from, Indian Ban on Chinese Apps: Does the Move Contradict WTO Rules?, Jurist.org]Q.Country A and Country B have historically maintained friendly relations. However, due to a misunderstanding, Country A initiated an attack on Country B. In response, Country B imposed various trade restrictions on Country A. Can this action by Country B be contested in the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a discriminatory practice?
