The Delhi High Court has recently sought the response of the Delhi Government in a petition preferred by an NGO, comprising nurses, working in private hospitals, seeking a direction to the respondents to change the nomenclature of nursing personnel working in private hospitals from “staff nurse” to “nursing officer”.
The Supreme Court on Thursday has agreed to consider an appeal filed by a woman challenging the High Court order which had turned down her appeal seeking maternity leave as her newborn biological child, not her first child as she is having two surviving children (stepchildren) from her second marriage.
