Allahabad HC: Pregnancy cannot disqualify women from government jobs
The Allahabad High Court has declared that being pregnant is not a valid reason to reject a woman for a public sector job. The court noted that forcing women to pick between their careers and becoming a mother infringes upon their rights to livelihood and reproduction. This decision was made after the UPSSSC declined a candidate's request to postpone her Physical Efficiency Test for the Forest Guard and Wildlife Guard selection process.
