Women want equal opportunity: SC objects to Bengal's 'no night duty' policy for women doctors
Supreme Court on Tuesday objected to the West Bengal government's 'Rattierer Saathi' programme which stipulated that working hours of women should not exceed 12 hours at a time and prescribed avoiding night duty. A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra expressed surprise that the state government has issued such a notification.
The top court said if men are working in more that 12-hour shift, women doctors are also entitled to do so.
«How can you say that women will not work in night shifts? Women will have objection if you stop them from working in the night,» it said.
Women do not want concessions, but they want equal opportunity. «Why should we prevent a woman doctor from working in the night,» it said.
The court ordered that the West Bengal government should immediately correct the notification.
