The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with the dismissal of a Delhi University professor who was accused of "sexually harassing students." The court upheld the university's decision, finding that the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) had followed due process and that the allegations were well-substantiated by evidence, including inappropriate messages. The court’s decision reinforces the importance of the internal grievance redressal mechanism against sexual harassment and sends a clear message that such misconduct will not be tolerated in educational institutions.
