Subject: Appeal Against Charges in POSH Matter Due to Non-Adherence to Principles of Natural Justice
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to appeal against the charges levied against me in the recent POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) matter. It is my contention that the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) did not adhere to the principles of natural justice during the proceedings. The key deviations are:
*. Cross Examination of Witnesses: The ICC failed to conduct a cross-examination of the witnesses. In *Gurdev Kaur v. Union Territory, Chandigarh* (*) * SCC *, the Supreme Court highlighted that cross-examination is essential for ensuring a fair and just inquiry.

*. Absence of External Member: As per
Suma Chanda v. Central Bank of India is W.P. * (W) of *
The appeal letter you drafted is comprehensive and well-referenced. Here are a few general tips to further strengthen your case:
*. Cross-Examination of Witnesses:
- Highlight the impact of not cross-examining witnesses on your case.
*. Absence of External Member:
- Emphasize the necessity of an external member for impartiality.
*. Delay in Report Submission:
- Mention how the delay specifically affected your case.
*. Improper Communication:
- Provide details of how procedural errors impacted your ability to respond.
