The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a mandate to all states to frame rules regarding menstrual leaves in educational institutions and workplaces. Chief Justice (CJI) DY Chandrachud observed that such a mandate could discourage employers from hiring women. However, he allowed the petitioners to file a representation before the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development.
