The inquiry into the alleged conspiracy in the sexual harassment charge against Chief Justice of India (CJI) Raanjan Gogoi will begin only after the in-house administrative inquiry into the woman’s allegations is concluded by three sitting judges, said former Supreme Court judge, Justice (retd) A K Patnaik, reported The Indian Express.

A three-judge bench, including Justice (retd) A K Patnaik, headed by Justice Arun Mishra is inquiring into the allegations of a conspiracy levelled by advocate Utsav Bains in his two affidavits.

A former woman employee of the Supreme Court had accused the Chief Justice of India (CJI), Ranjan Gogoi, of persecution after she resisted his alleged sexual advances on two occasions in October last year.
