The ruling party in Bengal during its protest may highlight the Supreme Court judgement in Vishakha v State of Rajasthan case where the Apex Court had laid down elaborate guidelines to deal with the menace of sexual harassment against women at workplaces.
The Governor had earlier filed a defamation case against the Chief Minister after she said that women had told her that they were scared of visiting Raj Bhawan.
The remarks were made after a contractual woman employee of Raj Bhawan had made an allegation of sexual harassment against Governor Bose on May 2. It was learnt that Trinamool supremo and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee may also file a counter-defamation suit against the Governor in court. The ruling party is taking legal consultations in this regard, it was learnt.
Trinamool MP and senior lawyer Kalyan Banerjee on Wednesday pointed out that the Supreme Court judgement said that cognizance has to be taken against anybody holding high office if sexual harassment takes place in the workplace.
