A Bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Sandeep Mehta remarked that many ICCs, which are mandated under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013 (POSH Act), have not been properly constituted.
During the hearing today, Justice Mehta stated that there can be a dashboard to monitor enforcement of the Act.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Union government, then said that such a dashboard was a work in progress.
“As an officer of the court, I can say that it should include – constitution of the committee, date on which it was constituted, total number of complaints received and number of complaints disposed,” she said.
“This is an exercise that would have to be taken by all the states. This would reduce manpower and human intervention,” Justice Kohli weighed in.
