• AN IMPORTANT JUDGEMENT OF HON. HIGH COURT OF KERALA ON MATERNITY LEAVE - [Radha v. Secretary to Government. 1990(2) KLT 914 – 1991 (1) V. S. Malimath C. J. & T. L. Viswanatha Iyer J. W. A No. 47 of 1998. Decided on 16-08-1990.] CLICK HERE FOR THE COPY OF JUDGEMENT

• A female government servant can ask for leave anterior to the date of actual date of confinement.
• “No maternity leave can be granted from a date which is far remote from the actual date of confinement.  The date of confinement is the central point in maternity leave which could extend for a period anterior to the date of confinement and posterior to the said date.
• The delivery took place on the 28th of May 1984 and she seeks maternity leave with effect from 2nd July 1984. By this process she would not be asking for any leave actually on the date of confinement. The rule did not certainly conceive of such a situation.
