ICC RULED AGAINST ME ICC RULED AGAINST ME

5 years ago

I have filed a complaint of sexual harassment at work place against my manager and a complaint against my HRD head for trying to put pressure on me to keep quite about the matter. Later ICC was constituted and I was called to present my case. ICC was biased from the beiging only and gave decision against me stating that my complaint was false and malicious and that I am unwilling to work, incapable and lodged complaint just to avoid work pressure. I am an outstanding officer through out my service of 4 years with excellent track record, I am one among 2% of the officers recently promoted and worked very hard for this organisation. Due to influence of officials on very high post aginst whom I lodged complaint the IC ruled against me. What can I do now? What are my options?

A.By ICC I think you mean the internal Committee that carried out enquiry on your complaint against HRD. Your organisation must follow certain rules of Natural Justice and should have a appeal mechanism. If it does not have still you have a right to either of these: 1. comment on the enquiry report, 2. to appeal against the decision, 3. for a reply to a show cause notice why the case should not be dismissed. Also, if yours is a goverment isntitutiuon, you can approac Court/s.

A.You need to prefer an appeal within a period of 90 days from the day of the communication of the written order as laid down under section 18 of the Act.

In the meantime you should find out:- (i) the composition of the ICC? Is it according to the rules laid down under the Act. If not challenge the very composition of the ICC. (ii) Whether the provision of section 12 of the Act complied?

Refer to Supreme Court Judgement: Vishakha v. State of Rajasthan AIR 1996 SC 1

A.Dear Client, you are not bound by the decision by the committee constituted, however, you must have details of members presided over the committee and who were from which depts. If you have some evidence and you are confirmed of having such evidence , eg. by papers, any electronics records or videos by colleagues in your favour , then you may institute a Complaint at court against such person or even you may lodge a FIR for the same.
