I am sure what Mr. Kumaresank means is that in following the legal process defined in Section-25F of the ID Act, even pregnant women can be included in the list of workmen who are to be retrenched.
The main criteria to be followed in "First Come last Go". (One goes by the dates of joining of employees)

Thanks all of you. I think we are a slight disconnect here... my question was not if its legal to fire a pregnant employee or not? it was rather that if there was retrenchment happening in the company - can u legally include pregnant employees (not specifically choose them!) in this list or are they safe guarded by some law against retrenchment?
Do revert with revised opinions! Thanks!

Once the employee get pregnant then she is coming under maernity benefit act. During her matrenity period one employer cant retrench the female employess as per the maternity benefit act.
