New Delhi: A senior woman law officer has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for initiating action for removal of Justice (retd) A K Ganguly, who has been indicted by the apex court for allegedly sexually harassing a law intern, from the post of chairman of WBHRC.  

Additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising, in her letter, suggested that the Prime Minister can request the President to make a reference to the Supreme Court for removing Justice Ganguly as head of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission (WBHRC).  

“I have written a letter to the Prime Minister for initiating action for removal of Justice A K Ganguly as the chairman of WBHRC.

“It is for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to decide and ask the President to make a reference to the Supreme Court for his removal,” she told PTI.

The ASG said she has approached the Prime Minister with her letter after Justice Ganguly chose not to resign.
