What remedies exist against disability-based workplace harassment?
I am a woman with multiple disabilities working in a government job. For the past 30 months, my principal has been harassing me on the ground of my disability. I have filed complaints against him on every available platform, but no action has been taken, and it appears that he has managed everything. I do not want to live anymore.
Dear Client , Before you file a lawsuit, you can send a legal notice requiring payment, refund and performance. A legal notice fee will depend on the advocate and the level of complexity of the circumstances. In case the dispute is not resolved, a civil suit for recovery of money and damages, before the appropriate commercial court established under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, may be filed, if the contract provides for or if the court has jurisdiction. Litigation costs and timelines will vary based on the value of the claims, court fees, evidence, and the complexity of the claim, and commercial disputes can take months to years to be resolved. Thank you for reaching out to Prime Legal.
If you are facing harassment due to your disability, keep all complaints, emails, and supporting evidence safely. You may approach senior departmental authorities and the appropriate disability rights authorities for relief. If no action has been taken despite repeated complaints, you may file a petition before the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking protection and appropriate action against those responsible.
