They however called the chiefs of federal investigation agencies and Delhi Police for consultations, legal reporting website Bar and Bench reported. A junior assistant of the top court had written to 22 judges of the court on April 19 that Gogoi had made sexual advances to her at his residence office in October.According to an affidavit filed with the court, the 35-year-old woman claimed that after rebuffing Gogoi’s advances she was moved out of his office and dismissed from service two months later.Gogoi denied the allegations and claimed they were part of a bigger plot to destabilise the judiciary.

Report says the panel includes the two judges next in line to take up the chief justice’s post and a woman judge. A social media campaign on workplace sexual harassment in 2018 forced several prominent men including India’s junior foreign minister MJ Akbar to resign.
