    Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging the compulsory retirement of a Professor at IIT Bombay who faced sexual harassment allegations. The court held that the Internal Complaints Committee's (ICC) inquiry report under the POSH Act constitutes sufficient inquiry proceedings, and no separate charge-sheet under CCS (CCA) Rules is required. The IIT Bombay Policy/Attendant Rules—as prescribed under Section 13(3)(i) of the POSH Act—govern the disciplinary procedure and prevail over general service rules, making the procedure followed fully compliant with statutory requirements.
