Dear Mr Gurjar,
The Constitution of India prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
This is guaranteed as a Fundamental Right to the Citizens of India. Article 14 and Article 15 of the Constitution specifically address this.
Article 14 of the Constitution of India states "14. The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India."
Article 15 (1) of the Constitution of India states "15. (1) The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them."
Further the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution elaborate further in Article 39, which states "The State shall, in particular, direct its policy
towards securing - (a) that the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood; .........."
You cannot have an explicitly stated policy which negatively discriminates against women being recruited into an organisation.
Regards
Raju Bhatnagar
