Delhi HC rejects PIL alleging sexual harassment in film industry - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

The petitioner, who relied on the Justice Hema Committee report with respect to instances of sexual exploitation in the Malayalam film industry, sought a direction to the National Commission for Women to inquire into the alleged violation of fundamental and human rights in the "Indian film industry" as well.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said in the absence of a complaint by an aggrieved party, it couldn't order a "roving and fishing" inquiry.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to examine a PIL raising allegations of sexual harassment in the "Indian film industry".
