Ma'am there are several safeguards and measures in law to protect you from any sort of harassment at work place. Do you face sexual harassment or otherwise? Please indicate the same. In case of sexual harassment, the recently enacted Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, which applies to government employees, provides for a redressal mechanism for processing sexual harassment complaints. The Act mandates all workplaces to set up an internal sexual harassment committee and prevent any such activity at the workplace. The proceedings in such complaints are strictly confidential, thereby protecting your identity and saving you from any disadvantages that you may apprehend. I thus advice that you make a complaint to your internal sexual harassment cell/committee and follow the procedure set out therein. If you need further help, do not hesitate to contact me. Regards
In India , prevention of sexual harassment at workplace act has been enacted. You have the option to file a complaint against the troublemaker under the said act. This act has been enacted in view of the Vishakha guidelines given by the Hon"blue Supreme Court.
You can make a complaint against him for harassment at work place and give it to your seniors who are duty bound to hold a inquiry against him in terms of Vishakha judgement and punish if he is found guilty.you also have an option of filing a criminal complaint.
Thank you
