New Delhi, Aug 4 (IBNS): A woman additional judge in Gwalior resigned alleging sexual harassment by a judge of the Madhya Pradesh (MP) high court, reports said.

The victim wrote in her complaint to the President of India, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) and the Union Law Minister that the MP high court judge allegedly asked her to “dance to an item song”.

The additional judge resigned on July 15 and wrote the complaint on August 1.

Chief Justice of India RM Lodha told NDTV on Monday: “I haven’t received the complaint officially... once I get it I will go through the complaint.”

The CJI told the television channel that normally they ask for a report on the complaint from the Chief Justice of the high court.

“In this case, I will seek a report from the Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh high court and take action accordingly. I will do my best for the institution.” Lodha said, as reported by the television channel.
