In continuation to our previous article on Fraternisation Policies and Indian Laws Our partners Siddhartha George, Varnika Sharma and associate Satyajit R Nair unbundle these aspects (all legal and ethical) of #workplace #fraternization policies - an issue that many organisations scuffle with on their day-to-day operations. Fraternisation policies, while aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, favouritism, and maintaining professionalism, must be crafted with care to avoid infringing on employees’ fundamental rights. The Constitution of India, particularly through the right to privacy, sets a high standard for any policy that seeks to regulate personal relationships. However, the implementation and enforcement of these policies raise several legal questions, primarily concerning employees’ privacy rights.
