'Disappointed & Dejected', Complainant Reacts To In-House Panel's Clean Chit To CJI In Sexual Harassment Allegations

Reacting to the clean-chit given to CJI Ranjan Gogoi by the in-house panel in the sexual harassment allegations, the woman complainant in a press release said that she was 'highly disappointed and dejected'.

"I am now extremely scared and terrified because the In- House Committee, despite having all material placed before them, has given me no justice or protection and said nothing about the absolutely malafide dismissals and suspensions, indignities and humiliations suffered by me and my family. I and my family members remain vulnerable to the ongoing reprisals and attack", she has said.

"Today, my worst fears have come true, and all hope of justice and redress from the highest Court of the land have been shattered. In fact the Committee has announced that I will not even be provided a copy of the Report, and so I have no way of comprehending the reasons and basis for the summary dismissal of my Complaint of sexual harassment and victimisation", she adds in the complainant.

Expressing reservations about the procedure of the in-house panel, the woman had last week announced her decision to not to participate in the proceedings.  Nevertheless, the panel proceeded to continue the probe and ended the enquiry by clearing the CJI of all allegations.
