india is a place where a h00ker can sue u for u r just being stared at her. the constitution is just a mess.
many judges know this fact, and simply acting as messiah of truth.
at least now they realize to use their senses rather blindly fallowing the cunning gender biased laws.
Justice Ganguly's indictment by the Supreme Court smacked of bad taste and was definitely bad at law. The Addl Solicitor General' rants are clearly vindictive. Although the complainant deserves sympathy, she has to do better than blog. She has made serious allegations without being responsible. She has sullied the reputation of an upright judge. Being a law intern she ought to know that the real world requires her to file a complaint with the police and the onus is on her to follow the case up to its logical conclusion. The retired judge was responsible for a few landmark judgement and has his fair share of political & corporate enemies. If he is innocent, then he knows that he has been targeted and is rightly not resigning from the State Human Rights Commission. He has, if innocent, seen through the masquerade.

the biased laws r biting back the executors of the law. hope the law executors (judges) realize that they shud not simply fallow the cunning gender biased laws written in constitution as it is, rather use their senses to distinguish between good n evil.
The Judge should have done the following to mitigate the whole morass:
In the first place, the intern clearly says that the Judges qualitative work gets tarnished because of this incident and he will be seen only from this perspective and all his good work of a life time gets erased. She was sad but she was sympathetic too.
The Judge after the blog was made public should have immediately contacted her and would have reconfirmed that it is he whom she blogged about or was there another judge. Once she confirms that it is he that she blogged about, the Judge would have given a press statement.
That press statement should have read on these lines:
"After coming to know of the blog, since I knew the young lawyer who worked with me as an Intern when I was a sitting Judge of SC, I contacted her whether it was me that she was blogging about or some other Judge. She confirmed it is me.
I deny the allegations.
I am aslo resigning with immediate effect from these 17-25 public positions that I am holding, including Chairman of WBHRC (the list annexed).
I am taking the first flight tomorrow morning to Delhi (in view of my age, I can not rush now)and go to the police station under whose jurisdiction the Le Meridien comes under, and urge the officer to take suo moto action against me, if an FIR is not already filed, and surrender to the police and urge a thorough investigation be conducted at the soonest possilbe to enforce justice."
This is a borderline case; was it Sexuual HARRASSMENT? or PERSISTENCE of a few minutes which she felt uncomfortable.
For it to be categorised as HARASSMENT common sense tells us that the favour BE DEMANDED which here was not the case.
It was a case of PERSISTENCE OF A FEW MINUTES. Even during this persistence there was no expression or act of any molestationn but an act of love from his side which she refused.
In the first place, since it is a hotel, let us not exaggerate the word BED ROOM. Even though it is a suite you can not categorise it as a bed room as it is not a home, where bedrooms are clearly demarcated.
Since he asked her to relax, it would be rude to suggest to RELAX in a couch in the narrow lobby of a suite. After all he didnt say SLEEP ON THE BED WHILE I ALSO REST ON IT-which is clearly suggestive.
He asked her to relax for half or an hour while he watches TV or anything. It can be genuine or ill intented; but no way can be confirmed that it is only ill intented.
He said, he loved her- which is not offensive or objectionable
he kissed her on her arm- again unwelcome and inappropriate but not molestation in technical terms.
He may genuinely attracted to or loved her; and to reject is her right which is fine.Here the whole matter is being seen from his age perspective (with a feudal mentality we are judging it that old men MUST NOT LOVE YOUNG WOMEN)
Seondly, since he was a senior position, we tend to see it as harassment, which in reality may not be.
