A notice by the office of Supreme Court secretary general also said the report of the committee constituted as part of the in-house\u00a0procedure is not liable to be made public. The committee, also comprising two woman judges of the apex court \u2014 Justices Indu Malhotra and Indira Banerjee \u2014 gave the report ex-parte as the woman had opted out of the inquiry on April 30 after participating for three days.<\/p>\n<p>She issued a press statement in which she described as &#8220;very frightening&#8221; the atmosphere of the Committee and walked out raising various objections including denial of her lawyer&#8217;s presence. On May 1, Justice Gogoi appeared before the committee and recorded his statements.<\/p>\n<p>The notice said: &#8220;The in-house committee has found no substance in the allegations contained in the complaint dated April 19 of a former employee of the Supreme Court of India. Please take note that in case of Indira Jaising vs Supreme Court of India and others, it has been held that the report of a committee constituted as a part of the In-House Procedure is not liable to be made public.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It further said: &#8220;The in-house committee has submitted its report dated May 5 in accordance with the in-house procedure, to the next senior judge competent to receive the report and also sent a copy to the judge concerned, namely, the CJI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An official source said that though Justice NV Ramana was the judge next in seniority after Justice Bobde, the report was not submitted to him as he was originally the member of the panel but had to recuse himself after the woman had expressed some reservations over his presence in the panel.<\/p>\n<p>The source said Justice Arun Mishra, who is number four in seniority, is competent to receive the report. After CJI Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Bobde is the senior-most judge followed by Justices Ramana, Mishra and RF Nariman. The three-member panel was constituted on April 23 in which the original members were Justices Bobde, Ramana and Banerjee. However, on April 25, Justice Ramana had to recuse<\/p>\n<p>himself after the woman expressed her reservations over his inclusion on the ground that he is a close friend of the Chief Justice and a regular visitor to his house. In Justice Ramana&#8217;s place, Justice Bobde had inducted Justice Malhotra as the former woman employee had also alleged that the committee was not formed in accordance with the Vishaka guidelines laid by the top court.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi got a clean-chit from the Supreme Court&#8217;s in-house inquiry committee headed by Justice SA Bobde which &#8220;has found no substance&#8221; in the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by a former woman employee of the apex court.
