The Sikkim High Court has approved a policy granting women employees of the Registry 2-3 days of menstrual leave each month, contingent upon obtaining a medical officer's recommendation.

"Women employees in the High Court Registry may henceforth avail menstrual leave of 2-3 days in a month, provided they approach the Medical Officer attached to the High Court first and obtain the latter's recommendation for such leave," the notification stated.

The leave account of women employees shall not be debited on availing menstrual leave, it added.
