Dear Learned Professional, Do the provisions of the POSH Act applicable an industry having 50 male employees and only one female for serving tea and refreshment and that too on the contractor roll. If yes, then in that scenario who would be the Presiding officer of the ICC as to my knowledge the law necessitates the ICC to be headed by Senior most female employees in the organization.

The act applies
And it is necessary to form the ICC
but in the existing circumstances, you probably can't do it.
Please remember that in case of a trouble and you don't have an ICC, the concerned employee can go to the District committee, which would mean the investigation is out of your control.
If you do not have a senior woman employee, have an external woman consultant who has experience in the field be the president. at least you will have a ICC which is tenable. The acceptability of the investigation and report often depends on the composition and how fair it seems to be to outsiders / courts
