In Digital Era, Employees Working In Different States To Be Treated As ‘One Work Place’ For Purposes Of Sexual Harassment At Workplace: Rajasthan High Court

The Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court has made it clear that in the digital age, posting of the Complainant in a different state from the accused would not be a barrier in prosecuting the latter for sexual harassment at workplace. “In the present digital world, work place for employees working in the Bank and who have earlier worked in the same Branch and later on shifted to different branches which may be situated in different States has to be treated completely as one work place on a digital platform,” a Single Bench of Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma observed.
