As per case facts, a senior female officer alleged she was sexually harassed at her workplace by a male officer from a different government department. When her department's internal committee ... started an inquiry, the accused officer challenged its jurisdiction, claiming only his own department could investigate him. Both the tribunal and High Court rejected his challenge, leading to this appeal. The question arose whether an Internal Complaints Committee constituted by one department has the legal authority to investigate a complaint against an employee belonging to a completely different department. Finally, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the POSH Act is a woman-centric law intended to protect any woman at her workplace. The Court determined that the jurisdiction of the committee is tied to the "workplace" where the incident occurred, not the specific department where the accused is employed
