PShe can give a statement with the local police station. It is advantageous if she has any proof of such advances made by the manager, in the form of recorded audio or video or any other proof. If not, the manager and HR will try to prove that because of her poor performance at work, she is making these accusations.
Let her gather proof without compromising her safety and approach the police instead of inhouse committee. Because HR is supposed to be the part of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the workplace.
To give a police complaint, you don’t need a lawyer. But write the statement detailing the incident. Do not leave any incident or part of incident. Later when the case goes for trial and she adds anything during evidence stage, the defense questions that critically. If you take the lawyer or any other support to the police station, police may take it as a complaint with a motive. She can write as many rough draft it takes to make it elaborate. In the FIR the police writes the summary. But the victim will be questioned on the statement given by her.
If the local police doesn’t take the complaint and registers the FIR, call the Superintendent of Police or the Commissioner of Police for that area. If you are in a city, the helpline numbers are put up in their websites.

PIt is not clear why the case has moved to High Court, either he has applied for quashing or appeal on the orders passed. Whatever the case be, if it is mediation stage, you can attend the mediation and ask for the remedy that you want. The remedy that you can seek through mediation can be maintenance or alimony or child support. If he agrees to it, the case will be settled through settlement agreement.If you do not want such remedy and you are seeking only criminal punishment, the mediation fails and the case gets referred back to the court. The other stages of the proceedings takes place – Evidence by both the parties, cross examination of witnesses from both the sides, arguments, etc. which will take much longer than settling through mediation.
To save time, energy and stress see if your husband agrees for your terms and condition, if not completely agrees come to a midpoint somewhere without compromising your safety and sanity.

PTechnically, as per Hindu Marriage Act, you ought to get married as per Hindu rites and rituals and then register the marriage with the Sub Registrar. Under this Act, there is a provision only to register the marriage. But the courts consider the facts and circumstances of the case in hand also when it comes to personal laws. You have a daughter together and you lived together that does establish that there was a relationship. It is better that you settle the matter through mutual consent divorce. Talk to her and settle the issues amicably.

PWhat does she want to do by telling her parents? Does she want to prove that he is ‘the bad choice’ that her parents made? She needs more emotional support than validation from her parents. She could be going through hell inside her. If she feels there is no point in continuing with the betrayal, she has to move out of the relationship. If she isn’t employed or has no means for sustenance, let her find a job to keep her engaged as well as start earning for her to feel independent. She is an adult, who doesn’t need to be dependent on parents to make decisions. If she feels it is enough, let it be. Them forcing her to be in a marriage that is broken will not fix anything rather she is losing herself further.Legal advice – let her keep all the evidence saved before someone (including parents) delete/ destroy them. She can file for divorce (if she wants to do so) on the grounds of adultery. The procedure is as per this [https://divorcebylaw.com/best-contested-divorce-lawyers-in-bangalore/](https://divorcebylaw.com/best-contested-divorce-lawyers-in-bangalore/)
If she doesn’t want divorce, but only a warning or counseling to the husband, can file a case under domestic violence for emotional violence and ask for such remedies.
