New Delhi: After a clean chit to Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi in the sexual harassment case, the complainant in a statement has said Tuesday that she is highly disappointed to learn that the ‘in-house committee has found no substance in my complaint’ and that she felt gross injustice has been done to her.
The woman said she is ‘now extremely scared and terrified’ as evidence on record has been rejected by the Supreme Court committee. “I and my family members remain vulnerable to the ongoing reprisals and attack,” she said in a statement to the media.
The woman’s statement has come after the three-judge in-house committee probing the CJI on allegations of sexual harassment claimed that no substance was found against him. The woman claimed that her accusation in the affidavit sent to the Supreme Court judges is ‘substantiated by documents and is verifiable’.
The former SC employee also said that she is not just ‘highly disappointed and dejected’ to learn that the in-house committee found ‘no substance’ in her sexual harassment complaint, but also felt that ‘gross injustice’ has been done.
According to her, ‘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 victimization’.
The woman said she would consult her lawyer and decide on the next course of action. “I am on the verge of losing faith in the idea of justice,” said the complainant.
