In a letter to BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy, the Home Ministry said the law intern was approached by the Delhi Police to indicate a suitable time and place "as per her convenience" for recording her account of the incident.
The law intern, who had made the allegations against Justice (retd) Ganguly of "unwelcome behaviour", had told Delhi Police on December 7, 2013 that she would indicate a convenient time upon her return from Bangalore, the Home Ministry letter dated July 2, 2014 said.
Delhi Police had also informed that the "available material" in the public domain on the issue was not sufficient to proceed with the filing of FIR under Section 154 CrPC (taking suo motto cognisance of an offence).
Swamy, after receiving the letter, tweeted "...So Justice Ganguly falsely defamed for his 2G Order?".
The panel had held that the statement of the intern, both written and oral, had prima facie disclosed "an act of unwelcome behaviour (unwelcome verbal/non-verbal conduct of sexual nature)" by the judge with her in a hotel room in Delhi on December 24, 2012.
Ganguly resigned as chief of West Bengal Human Rights Commission in January this year.
