Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, stating that the allegations of sexual intimidation and misconduct by the petitioner against her senior colleagues had been thoroughly investigated by multiple independent bodies, including the National Human Rights Commission and the National Commission for Women, which found no merit in her claims. The Court emphasized that the petitioner could seek remedies before the Delhi High Court, as overlapping matters were pending there. The dismissal was based on the lack of substantiation of the allegations and the findings of prior inquiries.
