Appointing a three-member panel of senior judges to probe the sexual harassment charges levelled by former junior court assistant against Supreme Court chief justice Ranjan Gogoi is a welcome move.
The panel is entrusted with the duty of conducting a fair probe and bring out the real truth behind the allegation.
We can hope that through this investigation, conspiracy behind the allegation, if any, will be brought out.
In the complaint given against the chief justice, the woman has made serious allegations. In the complaint it is said that the chief justice behaved to her in a provocative manner and started revengeful steps when she didn’t submit to him. She said that she had her own evidence to substantiate her allegations.
The complaints are numbered and clearly stated one by one to give the feeling that it is based on facts. We can justifiably doubt the hand of some think thanks in this smear campaign.
But in front of the Goddess of justice, which assures justice for all, the right and wrong about the allegation should come out.
If we check the history of justice system of the world, the India legal system is error-free and the one that preserves high sense of justice.
In that if anyone is intentionally trying to cook up stories and malign its reputation, they deserve the right punishment. There is no doubt about it.
This circumstance is very unfortunate.
Since there will be two opinions for any matter, arguments are raised for it and against it. However we can hope that through the investigation initiated now, the cloud of suspicion will blow over and the real truth will come out.
We can wait with the expectation that the country’s law will seek its path and become an ideal for others.
