Gujarat HC gets woman job back after 15 years

TIMES NEWS NETWORK 

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat HC has got a woman her job back in the company that fired her 15 years ago following a complaint against two colleagues for sexual harassment at workplace. 
    An industrial tribunal had earlier ruled in the woman’s favour and ordered the company where she worked — Lyka Labs — to pay her Rs 50,000 towards compensation for sexual harassment, all wages, as well as, Rs 2,500 towards litigation cost. 
    However, the tribunal did not accept her demand to reinstate her in the job, and the company agreed to pay the sum in lieu of reinstatement. Justice S R Brahmbhatt, however, held that fetching her money was not enough, and ordered her reinstatement. 
    The woman had already put in 10 years of service as an operator, when she joined a new union called Gujarat Kamdar Mandal in 1995. She began facing problems after this.
