---"What can MD do when in Dilemma about Sexual Harassment Complaints?"--- A Case-Study
One Superior next to MD was holding a Review Meeting with his Junior Woman-Officer and ostensibly enquired about Welfare of her Family when unsuspectedly, she took out her Family Photograph and pointed to ailing Husband who had By-Pass Surgery recently, her adolescent daughter and her three siblings. He uttered, “Vow, she looks like your sister, charming and youthful as you are, please get her to our Office, I would love to meet her personally, you know I admire beauty, take it as Compliments”. The subordinate Officer was speechless, stunned & hurt at his audacity and effrontery. She rushed out of Meeting Room and knocked at MD’s Cabin and when asked, reported that the “Compliments” in Meeting Room were humiliating and Unwelcome to her. MD listened to her Complaints. Early next day, the Aggrieved Woman-Employee filed Sexual Harassment Complaints addressed to MD against her said Superior.
The MD is in dilemma whether filed Complaints constitute acts of Sexual Harassment under SHWW Act 2013? MD sought Advice form Top Management Team and there were divegent views.
