Gujarat High Court Orders CRPF to Amend Rules Discriminating Against HIV-Positive Officer

This follows a case where a woman CRPF officer was denied promotion due to her HIV status and placed in a lower medical category. The court ordered her promotion and directed changes to CRPF rules to comply with the HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act, 2017, emphasizing that stigma and discrimination must end within the force.
