Sexual harassment in the workplace must be taken seriously, says the Supreme Court; overturns HC order granting relief to former employee
Court (SC) ruled that workplace harassment is a serious issue, invalidating a Gauhati High Court decision that overturned a penalty order against former Service Selection Board employee Dilip Paul, accused of sexual harassment by a subordinate. The SC emphasized that such offenders should face legal consequences and reinstated the disciplinary action of withholding 50% of Paul's pension consequently.
