Another law intern alleges sexual harassment by sitting SC judge

Following the resignation of former SC Judge AK Ganguly as the chief  of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission over alleged sexually harassing a law intern, another case has been come into light.

According to recent Indian Express report another law intern has alleged that she was sexually harassed by a then sitting Supreme Court judge who is currently carrying out a post-retirement job, nominated by former Chief Justice of India.

The victim, who is a former student of the National University of Juridical Sciences in Kolkata, has filed an official complaint with Chief Justice of India Justice P Sathasivam in December 2013. In her complaint she said she was “strongly disturbed and upset” by the action of the judge and left her internship mid-way.

The grave of the incident is much more than the AK Ganguly case, as this time the allegation has been made against a sitting Supreme Court judge by the intern of his office.

The Indian Express report suggested that the intern could file a petition seeking action against the former judge.
