Your Inquiry Report Is About to Be Read by Someone Who Wasn’t in the Room
When a POSH inquiry is appealed, a judge or appellate authority doesn’t relive the hearings. They read the file.
And they read it looking for specific procedural points.
What do Courts examining POSH appeals routinely scrutinize- Process, outcome or recommendations?
What is given more weightage to?
This session will give you the opportunity to connect with Adv. Sana Hakim (She /Her) who has experience as a co-founding partner of Equilibrio Advisory LLP which supports organisations with end–to–end compliance with POSH and also appears in Courts in POSH appeal matters.

The Part of the Job Most ICs Skip
Most IC members are confident running an inquiry. Almost none are confident about what happens once it’s appealed.
- Who actually has the right to appeal — only the respondent, or the complainant too?
- Which forum does it go to, and does that depend on the type of employee?
- What is the IC’s role once an appeal is filed — are we done, or still on the hook?
- What in our report and process could already be a problem, before the appeal is even filed?
This gap shows up as a liability, not just a knowledge gap, procedural mistakes that get exploited, findings that can’t be defended, and organisations facing writ petitions they never saw coming.
What You’ll Walk Away With?
- A working knowledge of what appellate authorities actually look for in a POSH file.
- The procedural safeguards your IC needs to build in now, before an appeal forces the question.
- Clarity on which appellate authority applies to which category of employee.
- Real scenarios drawn from how appeals actually play out, not just statute text.
Who Is This For?
This session is for people who are already in the room when these complaints happen:
- Management/Leadership
- HR or other professionals responsible for POSH compliance
- IC Presiding Officers and Members (internal)
- External Members of Internal Committees
- Anyone who has run or will run a POSH inquiry and wants to know what happens after
This is not an introductory POSH session. It assumes familiarity with the complaint and inquiry process and goes deep on the stage that usually gets skipped.
