Samuel then moved the high court questioning the ICC report, primarily on the ground of jurisdiction. On January 25, the one-member panel submitted its report which held the president of the seminary guilty of sexual harassment at workplace, and on February 1, 2021, Samuel’s membership was terminated and he was removed from the post of the president of the governing board of trustees of the seminary. A fortnight later, one more female employee of the seminary lodged a similar complaint against Samuel. On November 3, the general body of the seminary resolved to constitute an internal committee to enquire into the allegation against Samuel. On June 23, 2020, an employee of the seminary lodged a written complaint against Samuel under provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) (POSH) Act, 2013. The Bombay high court last week dismissed a petition by the former president of the Union Biblical Seminary in Pune, David G Samuel, questioning the jurisdiction of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) which held him guilty of sexually harassing an employee.
