Orissa HC in State of Odisha & Another vs. Smt. Anindita Mishra (W.A. No. 1074/2023) considered whether a contractual employee is entitled to maternity benefits under the prevailing state policy.

It clarified that the distinction between a legislated policy and one issued through executive action is immaterial when it comes to granting maternity benefits to contract or regular employees alike.
