KOCHI: The Kerala high court on Thursday held that movie production houses have to form internal complaints committees (ICCs) to deal with sexual harassment complaints as specified under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013.
However, the division bench of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly held that political parties are exempt from forming such committees as per the 2013 law, which is commonly known as the POSH Act, as there is no employer-employee relationship.
