"Discrimination Based On Physical Attribute": Rajasthan High Court Grants Relief To Woman Denied Geologist Post Citing 1cm Short Height

The Rajasthan High Court ruled that denying a woman geologist a job based on her height violates fundamental rights. The woman, who was qualified for the role, faced rejection solely due to her height not meeting the prescribed standards. The court held that such criteria are discriminatory and infringe upon the principles of equality and non-discrimination as enshrined in the Constitution. This ruling underscores that employment criteria must align with constitutional rights and cannot be arbitrary or discriminatory.
