Foreign airlines come under sexual harassment Act

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has said that any foreign airline having even one office in the country is bound by the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.

It was hearing a public interest litigation on Monday seeking the implementation of the Vishakha guidelines on sexual harassment against women at the workplace in the aviation industry.

The case had been transferred as a PIL from another court which was dealing with the plea of an Indian woman, employed with the Sri Lankan Airlines, seeking action against the carrier and its official whom she had accused of sexual harassment.
