I have requested the Court to decide this issue today. 

Written Submissions of Petitioner dated 24 July 2024 in W.P Civil 5565/2024

Submission – this case is required to be heard by a Division Bench according to the prescribed roster.

The current prescribed roster of the Delhi high Court provides that "Writ Petitions challenging orders passed by the High Court on Administrative Side" will be listed before Division Bench 2. 

The present Writ petition seeks the following relief: 
(i)             Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to comply with all applicable provisions of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(ii)           Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to comply with the directions of the Supreme Court in Aureliano Fernandes versus State of Goa and Others issued in respect of compliance with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(iii)         Direct the Delhi High Court through the Registrar General to ensure the safety of the Petitioner inside Delhi High Court premises as the Petitioner (who has made complaints of sexual assault and sexual harassment against lawyers Soli Sorabjee and Raian Karanjawala) is being harassed, threatened, intimidated, gaslighted, stalked, deliberately crowded and jostled with invasion of her personal space, smeared, defamed, abused, physically attacked, poisoned and physically harmed inside Delhi High Court premises, and whose property is also being deliberately damaged inside Delhi High Court premises;

(iv)         Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to apply its mind as to whether the presently constituted Internal Complaints Committee under Section 4 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 amounts to compliance with the Act;

(v)           Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to ensure that the composition of its presently constituted Internal Complaints Committee is compliant with the requirements of Section 4 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(vi)         Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to define and publish the jurisdiction of the Internal Complaints Committee constituted by the Delhi High Court under Section 4 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(vii)       Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to identify and define distinct groups having workplaces in Delhi High Court premises and to ensure the constitution of compliant Internal Complaints Committees for each group and to ensure compliance with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 for each group;

(viii)     Declare that the Delhi High Court has failed to comply with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 because instead of identifying specific groups with workplaces in the Delhi High Court premises, and setting up Internal Complaints Committees for all those distinct  group workplaces, the Delhi High Court has constituted a single omnibus Committee comprised of 5 Judges, one lawyer and one Registry Officer without spelling out its jurisdiction, and because the composition of this Committee is not in compliance with Section 4 of the Act;  

(ix)         Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to publish on the website of the Court, the details of the e-mail IDs and contact numbers of the designated person(s) who can be contacted with a complaint of sexual harassment;

(x)           Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to publish on the website of the Court, information about the procedure prescribed for submitting an online complaint of sexual harassment to the Internal Complaints Committee of the Delhi High Court;

(xi)         Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to publish on the website of the Court, the relevant rules, regulations and internal policies of the Delhi High Court which have been framed to comply with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(xii)       Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to framed an internal policy to prevent sexual harassment on its premises in compliance with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(xiii)     Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to frame and publish rules setting out the procedure (for online, email and letter complaints) for making a complaint to its Internal Complaints Committee under The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(xiv)     Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to formulate and publish rules, regulations, procedures and policies for compliance with The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and for the receipt, handling and disposal of complaints of sexual harassment received by the Internal Complaints Committee/s constituted under the Act;

(xv)       Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to publish on the Delhi High Court website, information on the functioning of its Internal Complaints Committee since it was first constituted, including information on the number of complaints received, number of complaints pending, number of complaints disposed, details of meetings of this Committee and details of what this Committee has undertaken or achieved;

(xvi)     Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General  to comply with Section 19 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(xvii)   Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to provide a safe working environment at the workplace i.e., inside Delhi High Court premises for the Petitioner-lawyer (who is a victim of sexual harassment) which shall include safety from the persons coming into contact at the workplace;

(xviii) Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General  to display at any conspicuous place in the workplace, the penal consequences of sexual harassment and the order constituting the Internal Complaints Committee under sub-section (1) of section 4 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013;

(xix)     Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to organise workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals for sensitising stakeholders/ employees with the provisions of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and to organize orientation programmes for the members of the Internal Complaints Committee/s in the manner prescribed by the Act and Rules framed thereunder;

(xx)       Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to comply with Section 21 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 prescribing for the preparation and submission of Annual Reports by the Internal Complaints Committee/s constituted by the Delhi High Court;

(xxi)     Direct the Delhi High Court through its Registrar General to comply with Section 22 of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and to provide the required information on sexual harassment complaints in its Annual Report, which should be published on the Delhi High Court website;

(xxii)   To pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.

 



This Writ Petition challenges administrative orders/ notifications of the Delhi High Court and seeks directions to the Delhi High Court to pass certain orders/ directions/ notifications on the administrative side. 

The present case is therefore a Division Bench matter according to the prescribed roster. It has been wrongly listed before a Single Bench.
