NEW DELHI: The Constitutional right to gender equality still remains a dream and women continue to face various kinds of discrimination which can be removed only with economic empowerment, the Supreme Court has said while batting for government policy to give preferential treatment to women in public services.

"Women, particularly in India, face various kinds of gender discrimination. It is notwithstanding the fact that under the Constitution, women enjoy a unique status of equality with men. In reality, however, they are have to go a long way to achieve this," a bench of Justices AK Sikri and Abhay Manohar Sapre said.

The court passed the order on a petition filed by a lady sub-inspector of Chhattisgarh, Richa Mishra, who was not appointed to the post of deputy superintendent of police despite clearing state civil services exams as she had crossed the upper age limit of 24 years and the state government refused to give age relaxation as per the existing rule.
