Former Supreme Court judge Justice A K Ganguly today refused to say whether he would resign as Chairman of West Bengal Human Rights Commission in the wake of allegation of sexual harassment levelled against him by a young law intern.
When media persons here sought his comments on the allegation, Justice Ganguly said "I will not say anything. What kind of a question is this?"
Earlier, Justice A K Ganguly strongly denied the intern's charge.
The name of the judge against whom the allegation was made was made public today after an official of the apex court disclosed that the Committee had recorded statements of the intern as well as Justice Ganguly.
As soon as the name became public, Justice Ganguly, who now heads the West Bengal Human Rights Commission, expressed "shock" over the allegation and said he was "shattered".
"I am denying everything. I have told the committee that all the allegations levelled by the intern are wrong. I don't know how such allegations have been levelled against me".
