Kochi (Kerala) [India], April 16 (ANI): The Kerala High Court on Friday observed that a woman who is fully qualified cannot be denied of her right to be considered for employment on the grounds that she is a woman and because the nature of the employment would require her to work during night hours.
Single judge bench of Justice Anu Sivaraman set aside an embargo contained in a job notification issued by Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited which allowed only male candidates to apply for the post. The court said that the said embargo is violative of the provisions of Articles 14, 15 and 16 of the Constitution.
