Vaneeta Patnaik v. Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti (2025): a POSH complaint must clear the three-month bar, and later actions extend it only with a direct nexus

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a sexual-harassment complaint as time-barred under section 9 of the POSH Act. A complaint must be filed within three months of the last incident, extendable by three more for recorded reasons, and later administrative actions extend that window only if they share a direct nexus with the harassment.
