Delhi High Court Criticizes Centre for Revealing Sexual Harassment Survivor's Identity
The Delhi High Court reprimanded the central government for disclosing the identity of a sexual harassment survivor in a POSH handbook published by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma highlighted that revealing the survivor's name violates legal protections and is punishable. The court is hearing a petition by the alleged perpetrator, who requested removal of his and the survivor's names following a settlement. The government stated the handbook was for educational use since 2015, but the court emphasized anonymity must be maintained regardless of settlement.
