A committee formed to investigate a false sexual harassment claim in an Indian company recently met for the first time. They asked the accused employee for a copy of the CCTV footage that allegedly captured the incident from the HR department. However, HR is refusing to provide the recording to the accused, claiming it is company property and can only be accessed by the committee. What legal recourse does the accused employee have in this situation?

The accused employee can approach the committee and demand access to the CCTV footage under the principle of natural justice. If the committee denies access, the employee can file a writ petition in the High Court challenging the committee’s decision and seeking a directive for the disclosure of the footage.
