The Supreme Court on Monday restrained the media from publishing any proceedings on sexual harassment allegations levelled by a former woman judicial officer against Justice S.K. Gangele of the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Gwalior Bench.
Acting on a writ petition from the judicial officer, the apex court had already stayed an order passed by Chief Justice of the M.P. High Court A.M. Kanwilkar, constituting a panel to probe the sexual harassment allegations. On Monday, a Bench of Justices J.S. Khehar and A.K. Goel passed the restraint order against the media until the judgment was rendered by the apex court in the present petition.
