Disappointed accuser feels 'gross injustice' had been done to her by the dismissal of her complaint.
India's Supreme Court announced yesterday that a panel of its judges had dismissed a complaint of sexual harassment made against Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi by a former court employee, as it lacked substance.
"The in-house committee found no substance in the allegations contained in the complaint," the Supreme Court’s secretary-general said in a brief statement earlier, dismissing the woman's complaint. Her identity has been withheld. She said she was discussing her next steps with lawyers, and was"now extremely scared and terrified because the in-house committee, despite having all material placed before them, has given me no justice or protection...".In her complaint filed to the court last month, the women alleged that Gogoi had made unwanted sexual advances toward her when she worked in an office at his home last year, and that she and her family were victimised after she spurned his advances.
Last week the woman said she would no longer participate in the proceedings of the three-member panel of judges investigating the case as she was not satisfied with the way it was functioning and did not expect justice from it.
