The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions to protect complainants and witnesses from the accused's retaliation or victimization in cases related to sexual harassment at workplaces. The SC dismissed the petitioner's same PIL in 2020. The bench noted that passing a general order would lead to the creation of a new offense.
