The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the reinstatement of a judicial officer in Madhya Pradesh who resigned in 2014 following an inquiry into her allegations of sexual harassment against a High Court judge, saying her resignation cannot be construed to be voluntary.
A Bench led by Justice L. Nageswara Rao made a point that every effort should be made by judges of the High Court to persuade a judicial officer, who has a good professional track record, from resigning.
Senior advocate Indira Jaising appeared for the judicial officer.
