SC on Maternity Benefits: Maternity Benefits Must Be Granted Even if Period of Benefit Overshoots Term of Contractual Employment, Says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court recently said that maternity benefits have to be granted even if the period of benefit overshoots the term of contractual employment. The court made the observation on Thursday, August 17, while hearing an appeal against a Delhi High Court ruling. In its order, the Delhi High Court had restricted maternity benefits to a mere 11-day period. The Delhi High Court had cited a contractual agreement's expiration while passing the order. The Supreme Court also stated that maternity benefits can travel beyond the term of contractual employment. Hence, the apex court directed the employer to pay maternity benefits as would have been available in terms of Sections 5 and 8 of the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961. HC on Rape Charge After Consensual Sex: Fading Away of Intimacy After Six Years of Sexual Intercourse With Mutual Consent Cannot Be Termed Rape, Says Karnataka High Court.
