Even Judges Are Mortals When it Comes to Sexual Harassment at the Workplace
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The current allegations of sexual harassment towards the chief justice of India and his way of managing the allegation have hit the institution like a tonne of bricks – and put the point of interest on judges.
In the absence of any law on the time, the Supreme Court’s 1997 Vishakha judgment had laid down the law and process to be observed in cases of sexual harassment at place of job.
The regulation declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all institutions, which includes courts.
Yet the approach of the judiciary towards itself has been characterized by means of the concept that judges are somehow ‘above mere mortals’.
That the courts have ladies personnel is handiest to be predicted. However, the apex court docket, in preference to setting an instance itself, never installation internal proceedings committees (ICC). The undeclared perspective appears to have been that sexual harassment of women does not arise in courts.
In terms of the setting, the court as a workplace is not so one-of-a-kind from different places of work besides being headed by means of judges. Again without spelling it out, the belief appears to had been that the August and ethical persona of the judge and/or the hallowed function of being ‘temples of justice’ might cleanse all that is ‘awful’ and ‘polluting’ from the human psyche.

Parliament enacted the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act in 2013. But the apex court docket seems to have functioned with none court cases committee, as mandated in 1997 via the Vishakha judgment, for approximately 16 years. The Gender Sensitisation and Sexual Harassment of Women at the Supreme Court of India (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Regulations, 2013, got here into pressure on August 6, 2013, on e-book within the reputable gazette.
Procedures in regards to the way of the complaints being made, the way of the charter of inquiry committees and submission of news have been designated with the aid of the Supreme Court regulations. However, rules do no longer prescribe any mechanism in case the allegations are against judges or the Chief Justice of India. And a courtroom employee who’s protected by using service guidelines cannot report a criticism earlier than the GSICC.

Interestingly, media reviews approximately the April 22 morning coffee meeting of all of the Supreme Court judges – the primary for the reason that allegations surfaced – suggests that it became characterized by means of a worry of scurrilous assaults by means of ladies personnel and a request with the aid of the judges to have a male supporting workforce at their houses.
The judges seem to trust that allegations by using ladies employees are bound to be forever false and mala fide. Why? Because the assumption is that judges aren’t liable to weaknesses and emotions the rest people mortals are susceptible to.
The universality of human emotions
Love, affection, cooperation, hate, greed, aggression, fear, envy, and lust easily come to mind as we think about the feelings at play in people. How is it feasible that people located in a senior judicial function emerge as miraculously loose from regular human emotions?
We witness this, as an example, while after an irritable alternate among a lawyer and a decision, the latter proclaims that he/she makes a decision the case best on it deserves and is unaffected by means of the exchange.
But the fact is that emotions evoked via irritable exchanges cloud balanced notion and rationality in all and sundry.
Acknowledgment is the first requirement or situation precedent to efforts to comprise the effect of feelings on our behavior. A character whose self-photo as a choice is of one is not impacted by the irritable alternate can be much less able to workout aware preference, and the emotions evoked may additionally properly effect behavior and verdicts to an extra diploma.
A decide who takes on board the truth that the irritable change has made him/her indignant may be in a higher function to system the emotion and exercise choice: he/she may additionally decide to take a sip of water and can decide to not skip a very last order and adjourn the case. Or in severe cases, permit a few different judges to listen to the problem and recuse himself/herself.
