At a time when the statutory framework created for the prevention and redressal of complaints of workplace sexual harassment of the female workforce has existed for more than a decade, this book presents an opportunity for readers to enter a discourse on how the jurisprudence is gradually evolving to address sensitive and complicated issues around such a framework. The book identifies the problem of absence of a comprehensive literature that examines the approach of the judiciary in dealing with aspects such as the ambit of 'sexual harassment' and 'workplace', the manner in which an internal committee should address the lack of a prima facie case of sexual harassment or a vague or anonymous complaint, the efforts required on the part of the committee to ensure a balance between parties when conducting an inquiry, the interplay of disciplinary and criminal proceedings, and so on.
