The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court on Wednesday, December 13, said that maternity leave does not result in a break in service or reduction in total service. The high court bench stated that any employee, who is on an approved leave of any nature, whether maternity leave or otherwise, is to be considered as being in active service. The single bench of Justice Sanjeev Kumar further clarified that the act of taking leave does not constitute a break in service nor does it lead to a reduction in the overall length of service rendered by the employee. The court made the observations in the case of six female banking associates who were denied consideration for promotion to the Assistant Manager Cadre because the Jammu and Kashmir Bank had deducted their maternity leave period from their total service. Domestic Violence Act Meant To Provide Immediate Relief to Aggrieved Women, Not for Windfall Gains, Says Jammu and Kashmir High Court.
