Women lawyers, activists protest against clean chit to CJI Ranjan Gogoi

Many women lawyers and activists were among protesters outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday as they questioned the clean chit given to Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi in a sexual harassment case a day ago. As it is not allowed to gather outside the apex court for any kind of demonstration, the Delhi Police detained the protesters and imposed CrPC Section 144 in the area to prevent further escalation.

The In-house panel of three SC Judges was looking into the allegations of sexual harassment by a former female employee of the Supreme Court against CJI , Justice Ranjan Gogoi. The panel of Judges announced its opinion on 6 May 2019 , giving clean chit to Justice Ranjan Gogoi by concluding that there was no substance in the allegations. Some women lawyers and activists reportedly protested the following day outside the Supreme Court on 7 May , 2019 against the clean chit. Already , allegation of conspiracy to frame the CJI and fixing of cases were brought before the SC by a lawyer , Utsav Singh Bains. Retired Judge of SC , Justice A.K.Patnaik, was appointed some days past , to probe the said allegations of conspiracy. These details of the matter appear to have brought judiciary or justice delivery system to the focus. In this context , it may be apt to mention this Vedic astrology writer’s prediction in article - “ The Year 2019 Astrologically for India” - published last year on 7 October , 2018 at theindiapost.com. While covering the period February -March and around in present year 2019 , the following prediction was made :-

उस महिला को अब मीडिया के सामने आणा चाहिए. उस्कों सबुत देणे चाहिए जज साहेब ने उसको किस तारीख को छेडा किस जगह छेडा. किस टाईम पर छेडा . छेडा मतलब क्या किया. जिस जगह पर ये कांड हुआ ओ तीन बार किस कारण से गई .उसने पहिले दीन पोलीस कंप्लीट कीव नहीं की. इतने दीन बाद ओ किव जागी.
हम सभी महिला के साथ है. उसको न्याय मिळणा चाहिए. जो भी बोलेगी उस्का ही सही मानो. चीत भी उसकी पट भी उसकी.
