We are all concerned about sexual harassment at workplace. The law on such a serious issue calls for a deeper understanding. More so, we need clarity about the procedure of conducting inquiry in cases of sexual harassment, so that guilty do not get away due to procedural infirmities. This book examines provisions of The Sexual Harassment of Women At Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition And Redressal) Act, 2013, and procedure for inquiry in the light of the case-laws, both Indian and foreign, service rules and the government instructions on the subject. It therefore fulfils a long-felt need. The book will be found useful by government officers, executives of the public sector undertakings, banks, autonomous bodies, as also the legal fraternity.
