Discussion
In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court place reliance on the CEDAW ?
Answer: C
The Court relied on CEDAW in the Vishakha case.
In Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan (1997), there was no Indian law on sexual harassment at the workplace. The Supreme Court relied on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, which India had ratified, read it into Articles 14, 15, 19(1)(g) and 21, and laid down the binding Vishaka guidelines until Parliament legislated, which it did in 2013.
Vineet Narain (1997) concerned the independence of the CBI, D.K. Basu (1997) laid down guidelines on arrest and custody, and Sunil Batra (1978) concerned prisoners' rights.
