NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has formed an in-house inquiry committee of three sitting judges to look into the allegations of sexual harassment made against Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi by a former employee of the court who also worked in his home office.
Justices S A Bobde, N V Ramana and Indira Banerjee will be on the committee that was approved by a full court on the administrative side. This inquiry will be in the nature of a departmental inquiry and not a judicial inquiry.
“The CJI wanted an inquiry. I was asked to do it. I then asked Justice Ramana and Justice Indira Banerjee to be on the inquiry with me. This has been approved by the full Court when we put it to them,” Justice Bobde told
