Overview

The Supreme Court of India has mandated district-wise surveys to ensure compliance with the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 (POSH Act). The directive, stemming from the Aureliano Fernandes v. State of Goa case, requires District Officers to verify employer adherence to forming Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) and displaying statutory notices. This push aims for systematic enforcement and emphasizes the importance of fair inquiry procedures by ICCs, not just their constitution.
