India’s legislature, judiciary and academia have by and large cast a blind eye on workplace bullying. There is literary vacuum on legal aspects of workplace bullying in Indian context. This article tries to address this dearth of literature by analyzing potential legal remedies and roadmaps for mitigation of bullying in Indian workplaces. It tries to achieve this by evaluating existing legal provisions with potential of mitigating workplace bullying and comparatively analyzing legal strategies of other countries.
