[Scene 4: A table and chair for the judge, two chair on both side of the stage two advocates walks in and
sits]
[The judge is getting up on the stage and Sits on the chair]
Adv Damayanti: My lord I’m representing the petitioner.
Adv Mrinmoyee Basu: My lord I’m representing all of the respondents.
Adv Damayanti:
Adv Mrinmoyee Basu: The state most respectfully stated before lordship that with the growth of social
needs and economic infrastructure or with the adversement of society the need of the society radically
changed but the legal scenario has remained unchanged. The sexual harassment law is a big example to
illustrate my point. It only protects the woman and excludes the men and discriminate as well. Men can also
become victim of sexual harassment but your lordship due to inadequacy in the existing legal system they do
not get proper justice. My lordship it respectfully stated that the police authority has irregularly arrested the
petitioner but your lordship Kindly interpret the existing legal system In Saatchi way so that the applicability
of the present law is equal for both men and women as well. In the above-mentioned circumstances, the state
humbly spread before lordship to dismiss the repetition and direct the police authority to investigate the
matter.
The Judge: Considering the submission of both the parties the court comes to the conclusion that:
1. Section 3 of Sexual Harassment of Women of Workplaces Act 2013 and section 75 of the Bharatiya
Nyaya Sanhita deprives male community from providing protection against sexual harassment. Due
to inadequacy in the criminal legislations, the justice is denied to the male communities. Thus, to
fulfill the loopholes of the existing legislations, the court gives flowing guidelines:
a) A man can also became the victim of sexual harassment, defined under the abovementioned
statues.
b) The term ‘women’ given under section 3 of the Sexual Harassment of Women of Workplaces
Act 2013 shall also include ‘men’. And the definition mentioned under section 2(n) of this act
shall inter alia applies to a man.
c) The term ‘men’ mentioned under section 75 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita shall include
‘women’ as well.
d) In such cases where a men victimized of sexual harassment; the police can take cognizance.
e) The trial courts should be very cautioned while dealing these kinds of matters. There should
not be any false conviction.
f) The judgement should not be used as counter-complaint against another complaint.
2. This court shall recommend to the Hon’ble Governor of the state to make necessary amendments to
the previous mentioned statutes to implement this judgement as legislative instrument.
3. The writ petition stands dismissed.
Adv Damayanti: Lordship, I must mention, your decision is completely ignoring the statute.
Conclusion(Harsh): Opening speech (Harsh): So, I hope that we have successfully conveyed this social
message and tried to break the stereotype that not only women but men are also being sexually harassed at
workplaces, thank you.
