India, June 29 -- The Bombay High Court on June 25 came to the rescue of an assistant professor at a Sanskrit college who was abruptly transferred from Nashik to Bhilwara in Rajasthan and later to Mathura in Uttar Pradesh after she filed a sexual harassment complaint against another professor at the college. The court cancelled her transfers and allowed her to resume her work in Nashik.

The division bench of justice Ravindra Ghuge and justice Ashwin Bhobe said, "No teacher can be treated in this manner, and surely not a lady teacher." The judges added that she had a 3-year-old child who was under medication and needed regular treatment.

The bench found that the transfer orders were triggered by her Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH)...
