Sexual Harassment

If you are facing sexual harassment in your workplace or personal life, we provide complete legal assistance to protect your privacy, dignity, and justice—with confidential & expert legal support.

Sexual Harassment is an offense that violates an individual's dignity, mental peace, and right to safety. In India, sexual harassment is legally recognized and punishable under various laws—especially Sections 354, 354A, 354D, 509 of the IPC and the POSH Act, 2013 (Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace).

We provide legal protection to both victims and falsely accused individuals, offering services like FIR filing, complaint support, and court representation.

Types of Sexual Harassment Cases

1. Workplace Sexual Harassment:

   When a woman faces inappropriate behavior, sexual comments, unwanted touching, or staring at the workplace, it is punishable under the POSH Act, 2013. We help victims approach the Internal Committee (IC) and also provide court representation.

2. Physical Harassment:

   Physical contact, unwanted touching, or assault falls under Section 354 of the IPC – Assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty. We assist from police FIR to medical evidence and trial.

3. Verbal or Mental Harassment:

   Lewd comments, offensive jokes, or threats can lead to trauma. Such acts are covered under Section 509 of the IPC – Word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman.

4. Cyber Sexual Harassment:

   Creating fake profiles, sending obscene content, or online threats are cybercrime offenses. Our cyber law experts handle complaints through the Cyber Cell & local police.

5. Stalking and Unwanted Attention:

   Repeatedly following, messaging, or intimidating someone constitutes stalking under Section 354D of the IPC. We assist in filing FIRs, obtaining restraining orders, and ensuring safety.
