The Supreme Court Judgement which made it mandatory for all government departments to consider the name of mother along with father for all practical purposes ?
Answer: C
The judgement is Geeta Hariharan Vs. Reserve Bank of India, 1999.
In this case the Supreme Court read the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act so that the mother can act as natural guardian of a minor even while the father is alive, overturning the view that 'after' the father meant only after his death. The ruling is the basis for treating the mother's name on a par with the father's in official records.
Vishaka laid down guidelines against sexual harassment at the workplace. The Laxmi case concerned acid attacks and the regulation of acid sales. Mary Roy won Syrian Christian women an equal share in inheritance in Kerala. None dealt with guardianship or the mother's name.
