KOLKATA - Former Supreme Court judge Ashok Kumar Gan-guly, who has been accused of sexually harassing a former law intern, today said he would not comment on a post in her blog which hinted at filing a police complaint.
The intern has hit back at him for denying the charges. She wrote on her blog on ‘Legally India’, “Those who have been spreading rumours and politicizing the issue, are doing so out of prejudice and malice to obfuscate the issue and escape scrutiny and accountability.”
Indicating that she might lodge a police complaint, the intern said, “I request that it be acknowledged that I have the discernment to pursue appropriate proceedings at appropriate time. I ask that my autonomy be respected fully.” Asked by PTI whether protests and pressure from various quarters were politically motivated, the former judge replied, “I don’t want to say anything on the matter. I have no reaction.” Justice Ganguly had written an eight-page letter to Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam, denying that he had sexually harassed the intern.
