The Petitioners View

In this case, the petitioner argued that the Authority lacked jurisdiction
since the complainant and petitioner were located in two (2) separate

States. Since the petitioner and the complainant lived in separate
States and their communications were received after business hours,
the petitioner could not have been charged, and no investigation could

have been made

The Court’s Verdict

The Court ruled that in the current digital environment, a person’s “workplace” should be viewed as
one workplace on a digital platform for workers who work in several branches of the same firm or
various States

Court reasoned that even if the petitioner sent obscene messages outside of work hours, knowing
full well that the complainant is an employee of the Bank holding a subordinate position, it would
still constitute workplace sexual Women Harassment
