Case Summary: Medha Kotwal Lele v. Union of India (2012) Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of these interconnected petitions and appeals challenging inadequate implementation of the 1997 Vishaka guidelines on sexual harassment at workplaces. The Court issued comprehensive enforcement directions requiring all States/Union Territories to: (i) amend Civil Services Conduct Rules within two months to treat Complaints Committee reports as formal disciplinary inquiry findings; (ii) similarly amend Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Rules; (iii) establish adequate Complaints Committees at taluka, district, and state levels headed by women; and (iv) ensure professional bodies (Bar Council, Medical Council, etc.) enforce Vishaka guidelines. The Court directed aggrieved persons to approach High Courts for non-compliance enforcement. Next Steps: States/UTs had two months to implement amendments; no further hearing date specified.
