"May It Please Your Lordship" – that's what a group of lawyers have named their campaign against the Supreme Court in-house panel's clean chit to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi over sexual harassment charges against him.
In an innovative way of lodging their resentment, the lawyers are sending copies of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act) to all the judges of SC, reported Live Law.
"This campaign is gathering momentum as a non disruptive yet effective tool to plead to the Hon'ble Justices to apply the same rules to themselves as they do to others," Live Law quoted one of the lawyers involved in the campaign, on conditions of anonymity.
The three-member committee, which completed its task in 14 days, proceeded ex-parte as the woman opted out of the inquiry on 30 April after participating for three days.
A note from the court's secretary general said on Monday that the committee has "found no substance in the allegations".
