Answer and official guidance
POHA addresses harassment inside and outside work through criminal sanctions, self-help and civil remedies. State Courts hear civil applications and Magistrate’s Complaints, and Police may investigate criminal conduct. Whether conduct meets the legal test is case-specific and decided by the courts. Official court and Ministry of Law links explain applications and updates.
