Dear
The Supreme Court in the Visakha case has directed organisations to frame guidelines for initiating action for Sexual harassment quo the work place. Pls check out whether there is one in your organisation .If the answer is yes, one should go through that process otherwise the general process of disciplinary action. If it is outside the work place the Criminal Law can also be set in motion.
with kind regards,

Hi
The recently certified Standing Orders have specific clause pertaining to sexual harassment. Now it has become mandatory for the certifying authorities to incorporate this clause. If you do not have a certified standing orders for your company, you can get it certified with specific clause for sexual harassment. Even IT companies, which fall under Shops and Establishment Act can have their standing orders certified by the Joint Commissioner of Labour. As you are in Chennai you can do it by filing the draft Standing Orders in triplicate before the Joint Commissioner of Labour (Chennai), DMS Compound, Teynampet, Chennai.
If you need any clarifications, further, do revert to me.
Thanks & Regards
