Insufficient materials to prove charge of sexual harassment against sitting MP High Court Judge

Live Law  

The three-judge committee has found that there was “insufficient” material to establish the charges of sexual harassment alleged against Justice S K Gangele of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The committee was probing allegations of sexual harassment levelled by a former Additional District and Sessions judge of Gwalior against the High Court judge. Indian Express has accessed the report filed by the committee comprising of Allahabad High Court Chief Justice DhananjayaChandrachud, Delhi High Court Chief Justice G Rohini and Rajasthan High Court judge Ajay Rastogi, which has reportedly been “accepted” by the Chief Justice of India. A public association of a judge of the High Court at such a personal social event is liable to give rise to misgivings when the conduct of the officials is under scrutiny before the court.” According to complainant, whose version Live law had reported an year ago, the administrative judge sent her a message through the district registrar to “perform dance on an item song” at a function in his residence.
