Facing criticism for allegedly sexually harassing a law intern, retired Supreme Court judge Justice AK Ganguly has gone on leave.
Ganguly went on two-day leave, starting Friday, citing personal reasons, according to a news report.
Currently serving as the chairman of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission, pressure has been mounting on him to quit the post in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment.
When questioned about his resignation, Ganguly refused to comment on the issue and said that he had suffered a lot and sought privacy.
"Don't disturb me. I have gone through a lot," he said.
Meanwhile, Congress and Trinamool Congress have asked him to step down from his post after the apex court panel indicted him on the basis of prima facie evidence.
