In an important judgment, the Supreme Court has ruled that the right to be represented by a lawyer does not extend to in-house proceedings, closing the lid on arguments of activist-lawyers who have protested against the absence of legal assistance to the sacked SC employee who has levelled sexual harassment charge against Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.
The woman complainant had said that she felt intimidated while facing an in-house committee of SC judges comprising Justice S A Bobde, Indira Banerjee and Indu Malhotra and sought the presence of her lawyer Vrinda Grover. She had also said that she and her husband were followed and that there should be an outside independent member on the panel set up to probe the charges against the CJI.
