India, June 27 -- The Bombay high court on Wednesday stayed an order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and allowed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to proceed with departmental proceedings against a senior officer in an alleged sexual harassment case. The CAT had in August 2024 struck down the chargesheet served on the then Director of Airworthiness and had also directed the DGCA to grant him promotion, if he was entitled to it.

The DGCA had approached the high court, challenging the CAT order, stating that the allegations of sexual harassment were levelled by a contactual staff of the organisation against the officer when he was posted in Bengaluru, and the matter was referred to the ICC.
