The Supreme Court Friday refused to entertain a ♉PIL seeking a direction to all the states to frame rules for menstrual pain leave for female students and working women at their respective work places.

Observing that the issue falls under the policy domain of the government, a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said that a representation can be made to the Unio💦n Ministry of Women and Child Developme൲nt for taking a decision.
