The chief justice of India's Supreme Court, Ranjan Gogoi, on Saturday denied allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances toward a junior court assistant who worked in an office at his home and that she was subsequently victimised.
"This is unbelievable," Gogoi, India's most powerful judge, told a special hearing of the court he called on Saturday so that the allegations could be addressed. "I should not stoop low even in denying it."
Gogoi said the events showed that India's judiciary was under "serious threat" and was being destabilized by a larger conspiracy, without elaborating.
"There is some bigger force behind the woman," he said.
The allegations, dating from October, were carried in full by a number of major Indian online publications on Saturday.
The 35-year-old woman, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, wrote a letter to all 22 of the Supreme Court judges along with an affidavit detailing her allegations on Friday.
Those included a series of allegations that the woman and her family were victimized by a series of related actions by the authorities, including the termination of her employment, and the suspension of her husband and his brother, who worked in the Delhi police force.
She also says another brother of her husband's had his Supreme Court job terminated and she also faced a "false and frivolous" bribery complaint, leading to her arrest and subsequent bail.
