Instead of countering the views which ‘X’ has already expressed, our contributors are advised to present their own views.

DATE WITH RTI

Action taken on sexual harassment complaint

Copy of enquiry report and action taken report on appellant's complaint pertaining to sexual harassment to his wife at work place was sought. The respondent informed that the information sought could not be provided under the provisions of Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act as the disclosure of information at that point of time would impede the process of investigation. Subsequently, the SBI informed that an inquiry by the Internal Committee constituted under Sexual Harassment Committee was conducted and the Committee's report and the findings of the Committee had already been communicated to the wife of the appellant. They further added that as per Section 16 of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 the contents of the complaint made, the identity and addresses of the aggrieved woman, respondent and witnesses, any information relating to conciliation and inquiry proceedings, recommendations of the Internal Committee or the Local Committee and the action taken by the employer or the District Officer under the provisions of this Act, shall not be communicated to the public and media in any manner. Further, the appellant has no locus standi to file complaint on behalf of his wife. The CIC accepted the submissions of the respondents. However, the PIO was directed to pass a speaking order on appellant's RTI application.

Comments

In the cases of sexual harassment, the Supreme Court guidelines issued under the Vishakha case have to be followed. The CIC has preferred not to issue a notice to the third party under section 11 and has upheld the denial of information.
