The petition by women across
various disciplines sent to the Supreme Court Judges on the constitution of the
in house committee has raised many valid points. They have raised valid
questions regarding, the formation of the committee without any
external member as required by the provision of the Sexual Harassment of Women At Work Places
Act -2013 and about the non provision of legal representation to both parties
especially when the complainant is not equally placed with the Chief Justice,
(As per vishaka judgment) The nation is watching closely the development in
this case since, the integrity of the judges of the Supreme court is of paramount importance in our
democracy. In this case an ordinary woman and the
highest judicial functionary are leveling charges against one another . The
nation has faith in the judiciary and expect both parties be given level
playing fields till the truth is established .The chief justice of India should refrain from making statements, tarnishing the character
of the complainants, if his dignity is
to be maintained . The union ministers of India should also not get
involved in this case by giving favorable certificate to one party when the
matter is in the court. The lawyers fraternity , the judges, the media and the politicians should
refrain from sensanalising or trivialising
this matter of seriousness by making unnecessary statements.
