Respected Experts,
My sincere regards to all experts here.
I am in a very tough situation.My wife was employed in a govt. Sector on contract basis.
She worked for years along with a batch of around 70 similarly placed employees.
She filed a complaint of sexual harassment before ICC of department against higher officer and another complaint before police.
No action was ever initiated by any one of them and later on she was kicked out of her workplace by some higher officers without any authority in this regard. Since then, for last around ten years, we are trying to enter/contact to headquarters but none of the higher officer is ready to meet us and we are not being permitted to even enter the premises of her workplace or headquarters. She is still in charge and her services were never terminated. She is not being paid any salary. Her juniors and all others are working as usual.
Sir, we made several complaints to police but for no avail.We are continuously being harassed and victimized. Sir, people suggest us to approach a civil court, such as CAT but, there is no such cause of action and department never terminated her services and the matter pertains to hooliganism by the department and culprits.
Plz Plz, do suggest an appropriate forum, which could facilitate her in resuming her duties. Sir, I am quite confused, what to do? nobody is helping us.Everybody is aiding the culprits, while all know, that, she was sexually assualted.
I beg to you, for suggesting a really effective remedy to resolve our grievances.
I shall be highly obliged and indebted forever.
Thanks with regards.

Dear Sir,
Your issue may be resolved if you make a representation before labor commissioner and if he cannot resolved he can refer the matter to Industrial Tribunal under Section 12 of Industrial Dispute Act. Further if it is a Government Company then you can file a writ petition for necessary reliefs.
Please mark “LIKE” if satisfied by my answer.

You have to initiate legal action. Consult with local advocate. You will get relief only through legal action.

Basically your fault to let matter go so slow.
You could have filed writ mandamus in Higher Court.

ICC is nothing, it will consist of same members who are her bosses who will iron out any differences among themselves and dismiss the matter pushed before them. Best is to find another job, if raped, murdered, it gives more scope for relatives to do hullabaloo and seek attention from government, these things are not treated as grave offences, this I say because you have not approached the police, as yourselves treated matter lightly by not approaching police.
Your matter is described as a serial on zee tv, never ending without any result. What is the use posting all your story (EVEN IF IT IS TRUE) here, in continuing manner which is 10 years old.
