POSH case: SC considers mandating states or UTs to create online dashboards giving information of Internal Committees

The Internal Committees are where the women facing sexual harassment at workplaces can lodge their complaints as per the Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal Act, 2013, POSH Act.

The amicus curiae Advocate Padma Priya submitted before the court that in many cases the constitution of an IC is not in terms of the Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal Act, 2013, POSH Act.

Therefore, in some cases Internal Committees, IC is headed by a male member, which is impermissible under the provisions of the Act.
