Assuming that you are working for a private company, you must first see the agreement or contract signed with the company at the time of joining. You must see if the decision of the sexual harassment committee can be challenged internally or if there is any clause dealing with disciplinary actions. If not then the only remedy would be to approach a civil court seeking declaration that it was wrongful termination or file a case for damages if you do not wish to join back. However in case you work in a government organization you could approach the High Court in its writ jurisdiction against the order of dismissal.
