SC to hear PIL seeking to restrain action against ex-judge AK Ganguly

January 06, 2014 08:48

The Supreme Court on Monday will hear a PIL seeking a direction to restrain the government from taking any action against ex-Supreme Court judge Asok Kumar Ganguly, accused of sexually harassing a law intern.

The PIL also seeks quashing of the report in which a three-member panel of apex court judges indicted Ganguly for unwelcome behaviour against the law intern, who has accused Ganguly of sexuallly harassing her in a Delhi hotel last year.

A public suit seeking to quash the complaint against the retired judge was filed in the apex court on Friday.

The petitioner said Ganguly was being maligned and was a victim of conspiracy as he had in an arbitration suspended Mohun Bagan for walking out of a football league match against the East Bengal club.
