On 8 July 2024, responding to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on mandatory menstrual leave for students and working women, the Supreme Court asked the Centre to frame a model policy on menstrual leave after consulting all stakeholders. It, however, expressed concern that it could have an adverse impact on women’s employability. It is noteworthy that the same PIL was not accepted by the Supreme Court in 2023 on the grounds that the matter fell within the policy domain.
