SEX DISCRIMINATION CASE IN INDIA

If you're interested in this July's decision in the India Air hostess sex discrimination case from the Indian Supreme Court, it should be available at this link. I've also posted a cleaner copy of the opinion here. I haven't studied the opinion in detail, but the thrust of the argument by the Supreme Court seems to be that the earlier retirement age for women was the result of labor negotiations and thus outside of the proper area of constitutional concern with sex discrimination.

I'm not exactly sure how Indian case names work, but I'd probably cite this as Air India Cabin Crew Association v. Yeshawinee Merchant, after the names of the first parties listed on both sides.

I'm thinking of ways to incorporate a comparative perspective in my civil liberties and supreme court courses next semester, so I'll be adding selected cases as I get to them. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions on good, free, online resources (preferably in English, although German -- and to a lesser extent, French and Spanish -- are fine as well), please let me know!
