The Supreme Court upheld Rajasthan's two-child norm for government jobs as non-discriminatory and constitutional.

The Supreme Court has upheld Rajasthan's two-child norm for government jobs, ruling it is not discriminatory and does not violate the Constitution. The Rajasthan Various Service (Amendment) Rules, 2001, bar candidates with more than two children from seeking government jobs. The court dismissed an appeal filed by ex-serviceman Ramji Lal Jat, who was disqualified under Rule 24(4) of Rajasthan Police Subordinate Service Rules, 1989. The rule states that candidates cannot be eligible for appointment if they have more than two children after June 1, 2002.
