Delhi HC issues notice to ICICI bank for harassing employee

Sexual harrassement is dealt severely by the courts in recent times. hence my advice is you can directly report the matter in writing with  proper supporting documents to the labour commissioner for appropriate action.

You can approach police and can complain under relevant sections Indian Penal Code also also approach any local Women's Organisation or a body like Women's Development Cell. Please don't bother much about your job but fight for your dignity and self respect first. Write to your Head of the Company. Also gather help from your other female colleauges if they are also facing the same experinence. Get united and fight. iTS a human right issue also there is leading cases to your accord if you are planning to take the case to court. Also collect certian documentary evidence before approaching any forum for help.       

I could not understand by seeing your querry, that the harassment is s*xual one.  If it is so, you have got two types of remedies.  The first remedy is through your department.  You write a letter to the head of the department asking him to transfer that particular person from the department and immediately initiate an enquiry against his misconduct.  It appears that the big bosses won't react, then you can move the court of law against not only the accused but also against the bosses, who are not in a position to protect the modesty of its female employees.

The next option is engage an advocate and file a complaint in the police station under various provisions of Indian Penal Code.  I know the executive will be callous, but the judiciary will be sensitive to your prayers.

Save email messages and SMS messages, which would be helpful to you in your legal battle.

All this explanation is given with an assumption that the harassment is s*xual one.

Can they demand it,because we have not reduce it,we have maintain it as it is.?

Please suggest.

You have not mentioned the Basic Pay.  As per the Minimum Wages notifications for each and every six months, depending on the price rise, the special allowance (popularly known as variable Dearness Allowance) will rise. 

As per the settled law, that the employer should not pay less than the Minimum Wages, which is total of B.P. (Basic Pay) and V.D.A. (in your case it is special allowance).  If you are paying not less than total of B.P. and Special allowance, despite increase in Special allowance by Govt. notification, you need not pay the enhanced allowance.
