Transgender Arya Pujari tried to apply online after the advertisement for the recruitment of a police constable was released. However, only two genders male and female were mentioned in the application and the third gender was not mentioned, due to which the priests could not fill out the online form. Following this, the MAT had on November 14 directed the state government to make transgenders a third option after two options for male and female in the application form for all recruitments under the Home Department. Arya Pujari, a transgender aspiring to become a police constable, had approached the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT).

The tribunal had also said that the government should set a benchmark for physical standards and tests for transgenders. The government, in its plea, claimed that the tribunal's direction was "extremely difficult" to implement as the state government has not yet formulated any policy regarding special provisions for the recruitment of transgenders. The deadline to accept the form is already set between 9/11/2022 to 30/11/2022. The petition sought the High Court to set aside the order of the tribunal as it was illegal and wrong in law. The petition states that the tribunal failed to consider that the process was a "complicated task and a lengthy process". The tribunal, in its order, had directed the government to make necessary changes in its advertisement and display it on its website by November 23. On November 25, acceptance of forms of transgenders after SP Manchekar, chief presentation officer representing the state, told that the government is still in the process of drafting a policy for transgender persons in public positions for given employment MAT extended the time till December 8 for.
