SAVITA SAMVED vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of gender justice concerning the eligibility of a married daughter for regularization of railway accommodation after her father's retirement. The Court examined the Railway Board Circular dated 11.8.1992, which allowed regularization for family members of retiring railway employees, and held that the denial of such rights to married daughters was discriminatory. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, granting the married daughter the right to regularize the accommodation, thereby reinforcing the principle of equality under Article 14 of the Constitution.
