“I felt I was not likely to get justice from this committee and so I am no longer participating in the Judge Committee proceedings,” she said. AdvertisingThe complainant claimed that she has “not been informed if the committee has sought any response from the CJI to my complaint”. The woman claimed that during the first hearing on April 26, the committee told her it was “neither an in-house committee proceeding, nor a proceeding under the Vishakha Guidelines and that it was an informal proceeding”. But this request was still refused by the committee and I was told that if I didn’t participate, they would proceed ex parte. She has claimed that the committee asked her to present her witnesses.
