The Supreme Court directed the Centre to frame a model policy on menstrual leave for women employees on Monday by holding consultations with states and other stakeholders, reported PTI.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D. Y. Chandrachud and Justices J. B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra reportedly said the issue related to policy and was not an issue for the courts to look into. Moreover, such a decision from a court on granting such leave to women may prove to be counterproductive and `detrimental` to the cause, as employers may avoid employing them.
