POSH Act coexists with service rules; Voluntary Cessation of Service order cannot penalise harassment complainant | IDBI Bank v. Sharanjeet Kaur : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court ruled that the POSH Act does not replace an employer’s service rules and that a Voluntary Cessation of Service order cannot be invoked to retaliate against an employee who files a harassment complaint. This safeguards complainants’ job security and entitles them to back-wages and compensation.
