Kolkata: Former Supreme Court judge A K Ganguly yesterday said he was being “hounded like a criminal” by the media, while he was denied a copy of the affidavit of the girl who had accused him of harassing her.
“Media is hounding me like a criminal,” Justice Ganguly said.
“Why have I been denied a copy of the affidavit? When I appeared before the the three-judge Supreme Court panel, I was told it was confidential,” he told a news channel.
He said that in normal course the respondent should get a copy of the petition because his reputation was at stake.
He said that he had never imagined that such a thing could befall him.
To a question, he said that he has left it to the people to form their own opinion on the matter.
