Maternity Leaves / Adoption Leaves Denied By PSU Bank (PNB) | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

I am working as Clerk in PNB Bank (PSU) since October 2012 (Joined on 3-October-2012). I didn't took any Maternity Leave till now. I have a 14 years old son (Born on 15-06-2008). Recently on 05-August-2022 I have adopted a new born Girl Child (Born on 31-Jul-2022) from an unknown poor family. After adoption I applied for Maternity Leaves in my Bank Branch, but my application was rejected by providing me a copy of 11th Bipartite Settlement Rules, which describe that only Child-less Female Employee is eligible for Maternity Leaves in case of adoption. But as per many decisions given by Supreme Court of India and Hon'ble High Courts of India, a mother can't be denied to grant of Maternity Leaves upto 2 children. I am seeking legal advice for my case to present in Punjab & Haryana High Court, so the benefit of Maternity Leaves granted to me.
