A.E.P.C. vs A K CHOPRA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, emphasizing that actions by a superior against a female employee that violate moral standards and decency can constitute sexual harassment. The Court held that physical contact is not a necessary element for establishing such a charge, and that attempts to molest a female employee at work are unbecoming of expected conduct from a superior. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing the need for strict adherence to standards of decency in workplace interactions.
