POSH Act, 2013 Vs Mental Illness | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

CHANDIGARH

I am suffering from bipolar disorder with an outbreak of psychosis in which a person has delusions and hallucinations. In May 2013 during my psychosis breakdown, I sent sexually explicit messages to one of my seniors ( a lady officer). I was under the delusion that she along with the departmental head is plotting against my life. Now the department on her complaint is implicating me under the provisions of the POSH Act, 2013. I have sought defense that I am having a bipolar disorder with an outbreak of psychosis and produced discharge and follow-up certificates and documents of PGI, Chandigarh, but the administration is not accepting my plea. The administration is not accepting my plea of mental illness and it turned down my plea. The administration is of the opinion that when I can use the internet and laptop then my plea of psychosis is not admissible.
