What happened

The Gujarat High Court recently quashed a bizarre administrative decision where an unmarried woman was denied a government job as an administrator-cum-cook. The official reason? She 'might get married and move away' in the future. The court slammed the logic as 'fanciful and frivolous,' noting that the state cannot penalize citizens for the hypothetical crime of eventually finding a spouse and relocating.
