Roberts, C.J., answering in negative, held that, Dodd-Frank\u2019s anti-retaliation provision does not extend to an individual who has not reported any legal violations to the SEC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to combat and root out corporate fraud, US Congress passed the Sar-banes-Oxley Act, 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) and the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) to protect the whistleblowers from retaliatory measures of the guilty corporations. The Dodd-Frank Reform defines a \u2018whistleblower\u2019 as any individual who provides information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the Commission, in a manner established, by rule or regulation, by the Commission. In the present case, the respondent alleged that the petitioner terminated his employment soon after he reported a suspected securities-law violation by the company to the senior management. The respondent claimed protection under the anti- retaliation provision in the Dodd-Frank Reform. However, the petitioner contended that the respondent is not a whistleblower as he did not alert the SEC prior to his termination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perusing the laws and the contentions, the Bench interpreted the term \u2018whistleblower\u2019 as stated in the Dodd-Frank Reform and observed that a statute\u2019s explicit definition must be followed, even if it varies from a term\u2019s ordinary meaning. Furthermore looking into the objective of the Dodd-Frank Reform, the Court noted that the provisions aim to aid the Commission\u2019s enforcement efforts by motivating people, who know of securities law violations, to tell the SEC.
