POSH Act & Politics: Why Supreme Court Said ‘Not a Job' | Harassment of Women by Political Parties

A big legal question: Does the POSH Act (Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act, 2013) apply to political parties? Do political parties also need to form an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) like companies and organizations? The Supreme Court has given a clear ruling. It said: “Joining a political party is not a job.” Political parties are not “employers” under the POSH Act. Therefore, they are not legally bound to form an ICC. This video explains the full case — from the Kerala High Court ruling (2022) to the Supreme Court judgment in 2024, and the PIL filed by Advocate Yogamaya demanding that political parties be brought under the POSH Act. We also break down: Why the Court refused to extend POSH to political parties The difference between political parties and film production houses What remedies women have if harassment happens in political parties Why Parliament, not Courts, must amend the law if change is needed Key Takeaway: Political parties are not legally required to form ICCs under POSH Act. Women in politics must rely on criminal law provisions (IPC) for redressal. If change is to happen, it must come through Parliamentary amendment. Still, the social question remains — Should political parties voluntarily create ICCs to ensure women’s safety and participation? 0:00 Supreme Court Rules on Political Parties 0:24 POSH Act 2013 Purpose & Requirements 0:36 Kerala High Court 2022 Ruling 0:45 PIL Arguments for Broader Coverage 1:20 Supreme Court's Different View 1:45 Legal Framework Boundaries 2:04 Reality vs Law in Political Harassment 2:26 Current Legal Status Summary 2:39 Alternative Legal Remedies Available 2:46 Social Angle & Voluntary Solutions 2:53 Final Verdict Recap 3:07 Future Considerations Question #POSHAct #SupremeCourt #PoliticalParties #WomenSafety #InternalComplaintsCommittee #SupremeCourtJudgment #KeralaHighCourt #LegalAwareness #WorkplaceHarassment #IndianLaw posh act supreme court ruling, political parties posh act, internal complaints committee political parties, supreme court judgment posh act 2024, kerala high court posh act, sexual harassment political parties india, supreme court women safety ruling, posh act applicability india, political parties workplace law, supreme court cji br gavai ruling, posh act limitations, parliament amendment posh act, women in politics india safety, legal awareness posh act, supreme court latest case The Law Advice is India's leading News Portal.
