This query is : Resolved
Hello,
Though late, yet appreciably the Supreme Court did think of getting a legislation in the above matter. The Vishaka case has really made many aware of this.
But I still dont know whether such an act has been passed or is still pending? If no, why has such a delay been caused? Please clarify my doubt. If possible can you please give facts of the Vishaka case in a nutshell and guide me as to from where can i get other such cases to refer the same?

or simply type Vishaka sexual harassment case Rajasthan High Court
you will get answer to your query;
it includes not only touching a woman but also by voices in various tones, pictures, films, portraits etc and even people touch females while going beside the chair of the female employee.
When you will be reading the judgment, you will find all the things and the Act upon it had been made and notification is yet to be made.

hi,
Yes, finally the Act has come, and all (Females) will be happy about it. But now, when will the notification come???? That's the biggest question. And even more important than that is who will create awareness about the various things included in the Act?
We still live in a scenario where females wont speak up and will tolerate all the things, and males who just enjoy teasing and still think themselves to be over the world. Awareness is very important to keep a check on both the situations.
