Another Supreme Court judge accused of sexual harassment

Even as the sexual harrassment accussation against former Supreme Court Justice AK Ganguly continue to evoke strong public dicussions, another apex court judge stands accused of the same by a law intern.

Justice Swatanter Kumar is being accused by a women who interned with him in 2011 and reportedly quit after encountering disturbing behaviour from the judge. She recently filed a complaint with the Supreme Court along with an affidavit seeking action against him.

However, the SC has refused to go into the issue citing the December 5, 2013 full-court resolution in the Justice AK Ganguly case making it clear that "representations made against former Judges of this Court are not entertainable by the administration of the Supreme Court".
