"Quashing of Denial of Joining to Pregnant Nursing Officer"

Misha Upadhyay v. State of Uttarakhand and Others

W P 241/2024

Before High Court of Uttarakhand at Nainital

Heard by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Pankaj Purohit J

Writ Petition was allowed and the order denying joining to the petitioner on account of being pregnant was quashed. The respondents were directed to give immediate joining to the petitioner within 24 hours from the date of production of certified copy of the order.

Background

Petitioner was denied joining as Nursing Officer in B.D. Pandey District Hospital, Nainital as she was 13 weeks pregnant. Hence, she approached the High Court for quashing of the order dt.15.02.2024. Petitioner was given appointment letter dt 23.01.2024 under the signature of Director General of Medical Health and Family Welfare, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Issue

The issue which came on the way of joining of the petitioner Misha Upadhyay was Fitness Certificate containing the endorsement,’ presently unfit for joining’.

This endorsement was given in the light of Gazette of India: Extraordinary, Part I, section 1, page – 120, clause 09, which prescribes as under: -

“If as a result of the test a female candidate is found to be 12 weeks or more pregnant, she should be declared temporarily unwell until she give birth. She will be re-examined for a medical certificate 6 weeks after the date of delivery on production of a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner.”

Submission of the Counsel of the State

In view of the guidelines the petitioner was denied joining and there is nothing wrong on the side of the Respondent.

The duties, which the petitioner is required to perform, are cumbersome and owing to her pregnancy, she could not be perform.

Observation of the Court

The medical certificate does not disclose any disease, weaknesses or bodily infirmity except the pregnancy of 13 weeks and the same medical certificate further reveals that it is not a disqualification for any employment.

The kind of treatment, meted out to the petitioner by the respondents amounts to gender bias and she cannot be denied joining.

When a woman is entitled for maternity leave which is her social and fundamental right as held by the Apex Court time and again, then to deny joining on the ground of pregnancy, would be highly discriminatory to a woman. Denying joing to a pregnant woman is violative of Article 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India.

If a woman who joins service on fresh appointment and becomes pregnant after joining, she would get maternity leave, then why a pregnant lady cannot join her duties on fresh appointment.

After joining, she would also be entitled for maternity leave.

The action of the State is highly parochial against the women who make half of the population it cannot be countenanced. We have to look at it with a new angle.
