The Supreme Court has constituted a three-judge committee to to inquire into allegations made by a young lawyer that she was sexually assaulted by a SC judge last year.

Stella James, the young lawyer, blogged last week that she was sexually assaulted while interning with a retired Supreme Court judge in December 2012.

This was the time of the Delhi gang-rape protests and she wrote, 'In the strange irony of situations that our world is replete with, the protests were the backdrop of my own experience.

"...I dodged police barricades and fatigue to go to the assistance of a highly reputed, recently retired Supreme Court judge whom I was working under during my penultimate semester.

"For my supposed diligence, I was rewarded with sexual assault (not physically injurious, but nevertheless violating) from a man old enough to be my grandfather.' 

James decided not to take action because she had 'no real ill-will towards the man, and had no desire to put his life's work and reputation in question.'
