Dear sirs,
We are interested in learning more about the stance of the Supreme Court on this matter. If the Court is also in favor, a question arises: should "motherhood through surrogacy" be included in the Leave Rules of organizations?
Thanks

The above decision is under civil service rules. Kerala High Court had given a similar decision under the Maternity Benefit Act. The objective of the MB Act is to provide benefits to employed women who become pregnant and deliver a child. A woman who has a child through surrogacy, i.e., another woman becoming pregnant and delivering, should not be entitled to benefits under the MB Act as it goes against the spirit and purpose of the Act. Therefore, the decision of the Kerala High Court is incorrect.
