|August 03, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking direction to apply the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act) to all political parties across the country.
A bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran said that the issue falls within the domain of the parliament.
"This is the domain of the Parliament. How can we interfere? It is a matter within the domain of policy," said CJI Gavai to senior advocate Shobha Gupta representing the petitioner.
