A FEW CASES
Air India vs. Nargesh Mirza and C.B. Muthamma vs. Union of India have proved to be a breakthrough against such discriminatoryemployment policies in private sector undertakings. Here, theSupreme Court struck down discriminatory employment policiescompelling female employees to obtain government permissionbefore marriage and termination of service if she gets married orpregnant.
The Courts have even paved the path by quashing discriminatory provisions that imposed disadvantages on women . In such
circumstances, the case of Maya Devi vs. State of Maharashtra has proved to be a landmark. Here the requirement of husbands consent
for wifes application for public employment was struck down as anobstacle to womens equality and economic justice.
