The Gujarat High Court slammed the CRPF for denying a female staff member a promotion solely because she has HIV-AIDS, calling it a clear case of discrimination. The court has sought the presence of the Additional Solicitor General in the next hearing on March 6. The woman has challenged CRPF rules that violate the HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017 and constitutional rights. The court’s final decision will determine whether these rules stand or change to protect the rights of employees with HIV-AIDS.
