The girl in her blog had written that claimed that she had faced harassment while she was interning under the recently retired SC judge.
"Interning during the winter vacations of my final year in University, I dodged police barricades and fatigue to go to the assistance of a highly reputed, recently retired Supreme Court judge whom I was working under during my penultimate semester."
"For my supposed diligence, I was rewarded with sexual assault (not physically injurious, but nevertheless violating) from a man old enough to be my grandfather. I won't go into the gory details, but suffice it to say that long after I'd left the room, the memory remained, in fact, still remains, with me," she wrote.
She also claimed that at least three other girls have also faced harassment by the same judge. The girl has said that she had refrained from disclosing the details initially due to the high position that the judge held.
The girl said she that she had "cowardly" decided not to wage legal battle against the judge but but decided to speak out "as I felt I had a responsibility to ensure that other young girls were not put in a similar situation".
"Frankly I was really shocked. There's this thing: a person who is a Supreme Court judge - you don't expect a Supreme Court judge to harass somebody," she wrote in her blog.
Ironically, this case dates back to the time when there was a huge uproar in the country to fight crime against women after the December 16, 2012 gangrape had shocked the nation.
