A woman is detained as she staged a protest against Supreme Court in-house committee that cleared the CJI of sexual harassment case, in New Delhi, on May 7, 2019. (PTI)Fifty-five protesters, mostly women lawyers and activists, were detained outside the Supreme Court while they were agitating against the procedure adopted to deal with a sexual harassment case against Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi. Gogoi on Monday got a clean chit from the apex court's In-House Inquiry Committee which “has found no substance” in the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by a former woman employee of the Supreme Court. Carrying banners which read - “No clean chit”, “Supremacy of Rule of law must be maintained”, “Be you ever so high, the law is above you”, several women lawyers and activists staged a protest outside the Supreme Court objecting to the clean chit given to Gogoi. Three men and fifty-two women protesters were detained and taken to Mandir Marg police station,” a senior police official said.
