Salve received a letter from the state Home department last month allowing her to go on leave to undergo the surgery.

Lalita Salve’s genital reconstruction surgery will cost several lakhs of rupees.

The surgery was carried out on Lalita Salve at St. George hosp.

Salve got admitted in a special ward and was allocated a special room.

The state’s law and judiciary department has advised the home department to treat the Salve’s case with empathy.

The Beed police authorities had earlier rejected Ms Salve’s request for a month’s medical leave for undergoing the procedure.

Salve underwent an ultrasound, sonography and a medical evaluation.

The court refused to accept Salve's lawyer Ejaz Naqvi's contention that the matter also pertains to the fundamental rights of a person.

Last week, she had approached the high court to seek permission for the operation as well as to secure her job after surgery.
