POSH Act Statutory Duty Overrides Transfer Policy | Preventive Transfer Upheld Post-ICC Sexual Harassment Findings : CAT Lucknow
The tribunal ruled that once an Internal Complaints Committee substantiates sexual harassment allegations, the employer's statutory obligation under the POSH Act to ensure a safe workplace takes precedence over transfer policies and the employee's tenure expectations. This upholds preventive transfers as a legitimate tool to protect complainants and maintain institutional integrity in service law.
