The Supreme Court has mandated the implementation of Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) for addressing sexual harassment at workplace in all government departments.
ICCs are required to be established to handle complaints of sexual harassment effectively and ensure a safe working environment for employees.
The directive from the Supreme Court emphasizes the importance of strict compliance with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Government departments are required to appoint trained members to the ICC and ensure that the committee functions as per the guidelines provided in the Act.
Non-compliance with the Supreme Court's directive can result in legal consequences and penalties for the concerned government departments.
