Nainital, August 4
The Uttarakhand High Court has come to the rescue of a government servant who was denied maternity leave for her third child, terming a state government rule to this effect “unconstitutional”.
Justice Rajiv Sharma said denial of leave was against the letter and spirit of the Constitution. The court said the rule went against Article 42, which provides for “just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief”, and the Maternity Benefit Act. — PTI
