POSH Act & CCS (CCA) Rules | ICC Must Be Senior to Accused & Permit Cross-Examination: Tripura HC Sets Aside Flawed Inquiry
Tripura High Court quashes a sexual harassment inquiry for violating natural justice, ruling that Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) must consist of members senior to the accused, follow CCS (CCA) Rules, and allow cross-examination. The judgment rejects the notion of 'preliminary fact-finding' under the POSH Act, reinforcing procedural safeguards for accused employees in workplace harassment cases.
