Allegations against CJI: Ex-employee appears before in-house inquiry panel for second time
A former apex court employee, who levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, appeared before the in-house inquiry panel and recorded her statement on Monday.
She appeared before the three-member panel headed by Justice S A Bobde for the second time. The first proceeding by the panel was held on April 26.
The panel also including two women judges -- Justices Indu Malhotra and Indira Banerjee -- is conducting in-camera proceedings.
During the hearing, only the woman was present, an apex court source said.
The complaint is not permitted to accompany her lawyer.
It is learnt that the next hearing will take place on Tuesday.
The source also said that the proceedings went on for around three hours during which the woman recorded her statement.
The in-house inquiry proceeding into the sexual harassment allegations is distinct from the probe to be carried out by the court-appointed Justice (retd) A K Patnaik panel which would inquire into the claims
