Woman fined Rs 5 lakh for false sexual harassment case filed 15 years ago
The court rejected the claims of a woman who filed charges of sexual harassment against her boss and asked her to pay Rs 5 lakh as fine.
NEW DELHI: Filing a false sexual harassment case 15 years ago against a now retired senior officer of Northern Railwayshas landed a woman in trouble with a court directing her to pay Rs 5 lakh to him "to console the hurt victim".
Holding that the woman had defamed the 74-year-old man, who has now retired, additional district judge Rajender Kumar Shastri directed the woman to pay compensation, saying "every man has his own status, however humble, and he has a right to guard his reputation".
The woman had alleged that she was sexually harassed in 1996, while working as secretary to the then chief personnel officer in Northern Railways. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) had ruled in her favour, but the Delhi High court in 2008 set aside the order, terming it "invalid".
The man had filed a defamation suit against the woman seeking damages of Rs 10 lakh for the "emotional trauma" he underwent.
He claimed that she had filed the complaint of sexual harassment after he had reprimanded her for not doing her work properly. He also said the prolonged litigation caused him humiliation among his peers.
