Rashi vs Union Of India And Anr. on 4 December, 2020

This court in U.S. Verma, Principal and Delhi Public School Society v. National Commission for Women, 163 (2009) DLT 557 (delivered by the author of this judgment), held that the entire thrust of the complaints committee procedure and its underlying premise is that the complainant employees are assured objectivity and neutrality in the inquiry, insulated from the employers' possible intrusions. To achieve that end, the requirement under law with respect to the qualification of the independent member on the ICC is an indispensable necessity for meting out justice under the Workplace Harassment Prohibition Act.

Ms.G vs Isg Novasoft Technologies Ltd on 2 September, 2014

In U.S.Verma Vs. National Commission for Women [163 (2009) DLT 557], the Delhi High Court pointed out that the concern of the accusers/ complainants, is primarily to be addressed by the complaint mechanism to be put in place, in terms of Vishaka. After finding that the report of a committee constituted in that case, was not in accordance with the judgment of the Supreme Court in Vishaka, both in terms of the constitution of the committee and in terms of the procedure adopted, the Delhi High Court awarded compensation to the complainants. Therefore, it is clear that the very failure of the first respondent to constitute a committee as mandated by the Supreme Court, could give rise to a cause of action, for a woman, who alleges harassment, to seek compensation.

The National Commission is only a national level body primarily looking into policy, to highlight them and recommend appropriate measures to the Government concerned. It cannot look into individual issues unless they pose or concern a wider policy or legislative structural dilemma.

Mr Reny Wilfred vs State Of Nagaland And 7 Ors on 12 December, 2025

7. To substantiate his plea, Mr. Zho, the learned counsel for the petitioner also relied on a decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in the case of U.S. Verma, Princial, D.P.S., Faridabad vs. National Commission for Women and others , reported in 2009 (163) DLT 557, wherein the Court had expressed the view that the Commission has no authority or power to decide as to whether the allegations were well founded or not and cannot go beyond its jurisdiction or power provided under Section 5 & 6 of the said Act. In the instant case, the Nagaland Women Commission Act, 2006, as referred above, lacks the statutory power to direct/file written complaint to the Police Station for registration of the FIR and thus, the NSCW had exceeded its power and lodged a criminal complaint before the Director General of Police, PHQ, Nagaland, directing to register a case against the present petitioner.

Sharanjeet Kaur vs Idbi Bank Ltd on 17 December, 2025

66. The Tribunal's findings [as contained in the order dated 09.12.2024 (supra)] undermine/negate the respondent's narrative that the petitioner's conduct was unprofessional or that her complaints lacked merit. The causal link between the petitioner's distress and the institutional response to her complaint is evident. The respondent's contention that the sexual harassment allegations bear no causal connection to the petitioner's continued absence is unpersuasive. Here, reference may also be made to the following observations of this Court in U.S. Verma, Principal, DPS v. National Commission for Women, 2009:DHC:4221.
