Kolkata: Former Supreme Court judge Justice Ashok Kumar Ganguly today refused to comment on his reported indictment by a three-judge Supreme Court panel in a complaint by a young woman law intern that he had allegedly sexually harassed her.


“I won't say anything,” Ganguly told PTI when asked for his reaction on the indictment by a Supreme Court three-judge panel which said the law intern's statement prima facie discloses “unwelcome behaviour”.

“I don't know what the Supreme Court has said. I won't make any comment,” Ganguly, Chairman of West Bengal Human Rights Commission (WBHRC), said.

Ganguly has all along denied the allegation made by the law intern that she was sexually harassed by him in his room in a five-star hotel in Delhi on Christmas-eve last year.

“I have already denied the allegations. What more will I say?” Ganguly had told PTI last evening.

A general diary has been filed by an NGO before a city police station seeking legal action against Ganguly.

Amid clamour for his resignation as chairman of WBHRC in certain sections, including BJP leader Sushma Swaraj and some Trinamool Congress MPs, Ganguly had said “I have not decided.  I am undecided. Time has not come to think about it.”
