The Supreme Court dismissed an NUJS faculty member’s sexual harassment complaint against VC Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti on limitation grounds but ruled the allegations must remain in his professional record. Judges said, “It is advisable to forgive the wrongdoer, but not to forget the wrongdoing.”
The Calcutta High Court upheld the Local Complaints Committee’s dismissal of a sexual harassment complaint against Dr. Nirmal Kanti Chakraborti, Vice Chancellor of NUJS. The court noted the complaint was time-barred and the allegations did not constitute sexual harassment under the POSH Act, affirming that decisions by the Executive Committee were not solely his responsibility.
