----What if Remedy for Sexual Harassment Complaint Gets Elusive?----
On Holi Festival Day, declared as Plant Holiday, a Young Woman Engineer-Trainee receives Tele-Call, Caller identifies him as Plant Head, invites her to Join Holi Revelers at Plant Club House, she politely declines his Invitation pleading she is not OK with Liquid Holi colors. He disconnects his Mobile phone. After 10 minutes, he calls again on her Mobile saying, “OK join us we are celebrating with dry colors, she declines his offer saying even dry colors itches her skin. He disconnects. In next Ten Minutes he calls her up begging desperately “Aa Bhi Jao, Bhaang Tow Lelo”. She is furious at his temerity for outraging her Modesty as a Woman, disconnects, ponders over her plight and starts next day knocking at Office of HR Manager at 8 am and complains about the Unwelcome and Humiliating to her act & behavior of Plant Head insisting immediate remedial action for his Harassing Behavior. HR Manager assures he would take up her Complaint but Two days after hands over her Employment Termination Order Letter.
What to do in this/such Cases? Guidance from learned PoSH Practitioners shall enlighten present & future IC Members.
