Madras HC Rules In Favour Of Pregnant Police Aspirant, Says Participation In Running Test A Sign Of Courage.
The order passed by Justice S. Vimala pronounced a few days before her retirement, began like this:
"To realize the value of - ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade; ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby; ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper;.....ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet; ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the trophy; ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident; and HALF A SECOND, ask the petitioner, who missed the post of Grade II Constable."
Will it be right to decline employment to a pregnant woman on the ground that her physical fitness during pregnancy is not a match as that of her counterparts, who are not similarly placed?
The participation by the petitioner in a running test itself is a sign of courage, as persons similarly placed would be afraid of because of fear of losing the child through abortion.
"The concessions given to pregnant women shall not be construed as a concession towards personal comfort of the women.The child birth should be considered as a contribution to continuity of generations,without which the existence of the world is impossible."
Justice S Vimala said in her order granting relief to R. Devika, who participated in efficiency test for recruitment as a Grade II Police Constable, while she was eight weeks pregnant.
