The Rajasthan High Court recently termed the denial of employment as an Anganwadi worker to an unmarried woman as illegal and arbitrary, highlighting a new form of discrimination.
Strongly objecting to the Department of Women and Child Development’s requirement that applicants for the position of Anganwadi workers must be married, a single bench of Justice Dinesh Mehta directed the respondents to process the petitioner’s application within four weeks.
The court deemed the condition mentioned in the employment advertisement as “ex facie illegal, arbitrary, and contrary to the very principles of the Constitution.”
