Sexual harassment
5 years ago
I faced a sexual harassment in an mnc working for. ICC investigated the matter in my favour but no action taken against the respondent. Now I have to leave the latter job also due to past experience as they communicated the matter to the later organisation also giving negative feedback. Now I am jobless. What legal action can be taken.

A.dear client in your case The case of sexual harassment having ended in your favour must have resulted in either a punishment to the offender and/or in some sort of compensation to you. Any bit of advice would depend on the documents available with you as proof.

A.The case of sexual harassment having ended in your favour must have resulted in either a punishment to the offender and/or in some sort of compensation to you. Instead, you say you are now jobless. Did you resign on your own ? or did they ask you to leave ? You have remedy against both the former company and offender.

A.First issue you have been deprived of your Right,Liberty & Security for which you can get your remedies. Secondly your company is responsible for all aforesaid protection.Thirdly they further punished you of your employment and now they are informing other organisations against you. All acts are against the law & Acts .You can take up a Professional Corporate Lawyer to file case for compensation,damages and loss of employment quickly.

A.First of all if the ICC has not taken any action then they are wrong and you should have raised your concern. Do you have a copy of the ICC outcome? If yes then you can move the criminal procedure against the person who harassed you. Secondly, if you are saying that your company informed your other employer about it and because of this you are jobless ( you must have a proof for this) then believe me you can take this company to court and not only teach them a lesson but also get compensation.
