Measuring chest of women forest guard candidates violates dignity: Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has criticized the inclusion of chest measurements as a criterion for female forest guard candidates, calling it a violation of women's dignity and privacy rights. The court has directed officials to reevaluate the criterion or relevant rule and seek expert opinions for alternative methods of assessing lung capacity. Although the plea of three women petitioners was dismissed due to the completed recruitment process, the court emphasized the need for a review of the necessity of chest measurements for female candidates in future recruitments.
