The Bombay High Court, in **Siddhesh Pradeep Satpute v. State Bank of India & Ors.**, held that an Internal Committee (ICC) under the POSH Act has no jurisdiction to inquire into an alleged incident of sexual harassment occurring during a routine commute in public transport not provided by the employer. The Court interpreted Section 2(o) of the POSH Act and ruled that only transportation arranged by the employer forms part of the "workplace." Since the alleged incident occurred in a shared autorickshaw, the ICC lacked authority to conduct disciplinary proceedings. Consequently, the Court quashed the ICC report and the disciplinary action against the employee. However, it clarified that the criminal case under Section 354A of the IPC would continue independently. The judgment emphasizes that while the POSH Act should be interpreted to protect women, its jurisdiction cannot be extended beyond the statutory definition of "workplace."
