The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 aims to provide protection against sexual harassment of women in workplaces and to ensure the prevention and redressal of complaints. Various sections of the Act detail procedures and responsibilities for addressing workplace harassment.
Section 15 pertains to the determination of compensation. It outlines the criteria for deciding compensation payable to the aggrieved woman, considering aspects like mental trauma, emotional distress, loss of career opportunities, and medical expenses.
Section 17 deals with the Inquiry Report, which is to be submitted after an internal committee investigates a complaint. The report should determine whether an offence has occurred, and it should be shared with both the employer and the concerned parties.
Section 27 does not relate to the cognizance of offence by courts. In fact, Section 27 empowers the central government to make rules for carrying out the provisions of the Act, including steps for removing difficulties in implementation.
Section 30 gives the government the power to remove any difficulties that arise in enforcing the Act, within a period of two years from the commencement of the Act.
