In case of a complaint regarding sexual harassment at the workplace, an Internal Complaint Committee is required to be constituted. With regard to this, which one of the following statements is not correct ?
Explanation
The composition of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) is governed by Section 4 of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act). According to the Act, the ICC must consist of:
1. A Presiding Officer who shall be a woman employed at a senior level at the workplace (Statement A is correct).
2. At least two members from among employees preferably committed to the cause of women or having social work/legal experience (Statement B is correct).
3. One member from an NGO or association committed to the cause of women or familiar with issues relating to sexual harassment (Statement C is correct).
The Act does not provide for the inclusion of a member from the local police in the ICC. Police involvement arises only when a criminal complaint is filed under the relevant penal codes, but they are not part of the internal administrative committee. Thus, statement D is incorrect.
