The Bombay High Court ruled that alleged sexual harassment during travel in shared public transport not arranged by an employer does not fall within the definition of a “workplace” under the POSH Act. Consequently, such incidents cannot be examined through the Act’s workplace harassment framework.
The Kerala High Court, led by Justice V.G. Arun, overturned a Child Welfare Committee ruling that granted custody of an infant to the father, emphasizing the mother’s right to breastfeed and nurture her child as essential elements of the right to life. The court criticized biases against the mother’s choices, ensuring the child’s best interests were prioritized.
