This query is : Resolved
Sir, my daughter is working in AP state Government since last 3 & half years as a Grade 2 employees recruited directly through AP Public Service Commission. She blessed with Twins in First issue itself and both are living healthy. She availed maternity leave of 180 days. Now my daughter is pregnant. As per AP State Government G O, employees are not eligible for maternity leave if two children are alive. My query is it correct legally? If it is not correct what is the basis and whether there are any judgements of Honourable High Court or Supreme Court? If so may please give citations.

As per AP government leave rules the female is eligible for ML if she is only one living child and at 2nd time born twins. But the first time she blessed with twins, she is not eligible for next ML as she is having two living children. refer GOs from the year 1968/1969.

ML is restricted to two children, whether twin in one delivery or single child in two deliveries.
Consult service rules and a local lawyer.

If the rules provide for ML in your case then what is the need of citations!
