Court Orders College to Grant Childcare Leave to Professor

A professor at Calcutta Girls' College was denied childcare leave for her twin daughters, a decision the court found unlawful.

The High Court intervened, stating the college should have approved the leave and ordered the college to release the professor's salary for the period.

The professor, who had previously taken maternity leave, applied for childcare leave to care for her children as her husband was abroad and her parents-in-law were ill.

The court emphasized the professor's right to childcare leave, citing existing guidelines.
