Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, finding no merit in the allegations of sexual intimidation made by the petitioner against her senior colleagues, which had been investigated by various independent bodies including the National Human Rights Commission and the National Commission for Women. The Court noted that the petitioner had been denied relief by these bodies and that overlapping matters were pending before the Delhi High Court. The Court held that the petitioner could pursue her remedies in the appropriate forum.
