A Rajasthan High Court ruling has granted a teacher full maternity benefits, including 180 days of paid leave, after she challenged the state government’s refusal to extend her leave beyond the standard 120 days. The court directed authorities to ensure she receives her full salary during the additional period, setting a precedent for similar cases involving pregnant employees. The decision follows a legal battle over the state’s maternity leave policy, which had previously denied extended leave to expectant mothers. The verdict underscores growing judicial scrutiny over workplace protections for pregnant workers in India.
