CINTAA, too, refused to adhere to the laid down guidelines of the laws regarding sexual harassment at the workplace (Vishaka & Ors v. State of Rajasthan, 1997). As per the CRPC and Limitation act, there is no bar for registering a case on sexual offences if the victim gives a reasonable justification for the delay."
