Women harrasment case

Please confirm under which Act has case has been registered?

 If it is under Indian Penal code then under section 354A, he is liable to imprisonment. But if the case is under Sexual harrasement at work place Act, 2013, then it is first an internal matter which needs to be taken care by the committee constituted in the company. If if matters cannot be resolved at the company level, only then the police gets involved.

Hi Jude,

This was happend at home in a villege. I just want to know whether police arrest immediately the man who harrased a woman or police do some enquiry and then take necessary action against the man?

An enquiry will be done and based on it only arrest can be done- if it is a normal harrasement case.

But if it is a s*xual harrasement case, then the issue is a cognizable offence and immediate arrest without warrant is possible.[clause 41 of Code for criminal procedure] 

it depends on the section of ipc under which she files a case on you.only if its a cognizable offence you would be arrested (subjected to supreme court guidelines on arrest in case of cognizable offence) otherwise no arrest.
