K. Chandru Former Judge Of Highcourt: The decision to count delivery of twins as to come within two child norm is erroneous.I have considered a similar issue ten years ago and ruled that it is one delivery and for the subsequent delivery the woman employee is entitled for all benefits including maternity leave.

[3/3, 07:41] K. Chandru Former Judge Of Highcourt: The decision to count delivery of twins as to come within two child norm is erroneous.I have considered a similar issue ten years ago and ruled that it is one delivery and for the subsequent delivery the woman employee is entitled for all benefits including maternity leave.The rules cannot be looked in to population control norms but from the women’s health point of view.There is no law prescribing two child norm.The leave rules are framed only to limit the liability of the state to meet the expenses.In which case a woman is entitiled to get leave for two deliveries & not getting for two children even if it is one delivery.It is discriminatory because the other women will get two sets of leave for two separate deliveries.The DB has made a mechanical interpretation and opposed to article 42 of the constitution!!!
