Supreme Court: Maternity Leave is a Constitutional Guarantee

The Supreme Court stated maternity leave is a constitutional right for women employees, overturning a previous court decision.

This decision came after a government teacher was denied leave for her third child, with the lower court citing a policy to control population.

The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of maternity leave for women's well-being and ability to care for their children.

They said the state can't interfere with a woman's reproductive choices and the need to maintain women's dignity.

The court has ensured women in the workforce are treated with dignity.
