Under the definition of sexual harassment in section 2(n) of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, which of the following is not an included act or behaviour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 2(n) of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 lists the unwelcome acts that amount to sexual harassment: physical contact and advances, a demand or request for sexual favours, sexually coloured remarks, showing pornography, and "any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature". Personal interaction pursued despite clear disinterest is not one of the listed acts; that idea is closer to stalking under the criminal law. It would fall within the definition only if it carried a sexual element, which the description given lacks.
