Referring to various judgments of the Supreme Court, a division bench of Justice R Suresh Kumar and Justice K Kumaresh Babu wrote that the findings and the report of the complaints committee should not be treated as a mere preliminary investigation or an inquiry leading to disciplinary action, but should be treated as a finding or report in an inquiry into the misconduct of the delinquent in sexual harassment cases and dismissed a petition moved by the assistant professor facing sexual harassment allegation.”
