MUMBAI, Nov. 6 -- The Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) has issued a notice to the dean of the Sir JJ Group of Hospitals after the institute failed to submit a report within the stipulated time on a complaint filed by a woman professor alleging mental harassment by her department head. According to the commission, the complainant, a professor and gynaecologist, had lodged a complaint on July 10, alleging continuous mental harassment and humiliation by her HOD. The complainant, who also alleged that she faced abusive behaviour from the HOD for around a year, claimed the HOD continued to cause her severe mental distress despite her complaint. The commission had twice sought detailed reports from the hospital but the hospital failed to respond, after which the commission conducted a hearing on October 29, where the hospitals' representative said they were not aware of details of the case. The notice directs the hospital to submit, within seven days, a report on the matter. Dr Ajay Bhandarwar, dean of JJ Hospital, said, "We had conducted an enquiry and also submitted it to the state. This matter has been going on for a long time, hence the person who appeared before the commission was not aware of the details. We will be submitting the information regarding this to the commission tomorrow."...
