| Lawyer who alleged sexual harassment by judge to testify today

| A young lawyer who blogged that she was sexually harassed by a Supreme Court judge will testify this evening for three judges from the top court who are investigating her allegations.
Ahead of her appearance, a group of women lawyers protested near the court, demanding that a police case be registered on the basis of her allegations.
The woman has not named the judge either in her blog or in her interview with Legally India, a website that covers legal news, but has said that he is now retired.
She said that she was interning for this judge when he harassed her in a hotel room in December.
Last week, the Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam said that he was disturbed by the allegations and that a committee of three judges will meet her in person and investigate her charges.
The police have initiated a preliminary inquiry based on a former Delhi University lecturer's complaint based on the first intern's blog. Professor SN Singh, ex-dean of the Faculty of Law, has demanded an independent police investigation; he says the judges' inquiry is in-house and has no legal sanctity.
Sources say the police are waiting for the woman's corroboration of the alleged incident
