In December last year, the same judge had addressed an open letter to the Chief Justice of India alleging that she was sexually harassed by a district judge and his associates.
Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud has sought a report from Allahabad High Court in connection with an inquiry into the sexual harassment complaint filed by a woman civil judge from Banda, Uttar Pradesh. The Internal Complaint Committee of the Allahabad HC is dealing with the case.
