Serial activist petitioner and advocate Manohar Lal Sharma has prepared a writ petition claiming contempt of court by four respondents, namely the intern who alleged sexual harassment of a judge, the Times of India and Legally India that first published her claims, and to the Attorney General of India Goolam Vahanvati for petitioning the Supreme Court to investigate this case under the Vishaka judgment’s sexual harassment guidelines.
In his petition, of which Sharma disseminated a softcopy to a number of journalists, he also prayed for the Supreme Court to start an inquiry into the respondents “for their concocted criminal action against the judicial systems”, and for the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) to investigate “facts and evidence” to assist the court in such inquiry.
In the grounds of the petition, Sharma stated:
Because sheer reference of sexual harassment by a lady cannot be accepted as a offence . However impugned statement does not contain name , at e, time and place where such action was done. It does not reveal even the date of the offence . Name of the room /hotel /court does not reflected in the statement. It is prima facie have no value but it was published under a concocted game by the respondent girl having hand with other conspirators just to defame the judiciary referring period of December 2012. […]
Because under concocted conspiracy legal journal also published her interview in their web edition but did not disclose name and place and time as well as date of the incidents. It do not disclose name of city too. Which further prove that it is published under a concocted game and planning.
Because times of India also published the same story without having any evidence in hand just on the basis of above said publication in block and legal India interview. Perhaps times of India were much interest to get cheep publicity which has managed the image and reputation of the Judiciary Supreme court and its judges. […]
Because petitioner learnt through ancients books which has already disclosed and established several times that lady never speak truth .Even for a short benefit or for revenge for denial her demand she can go upto any extent for revenge. NO one can control her revenge/ greed. Upon disclosure of truth she put herself as a poor helpless in the world. All empires and fight happened due to her ego and greed . [sic, as applicable]
The internal judicial inquiry of three judges constituted by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) on Tuesday, is due to hear the allegations of the intern on Monday afternoon.

Mr Sharma is a greatest nuisance. I do not understand why Courts is so reluctant to impose fines on frivolous petitions filed by him merely on news papers.
Jolly LLB is passe, time now for Sharmabhai LLB!! Bollywood please take note!
Also, how is this contempt of the judicial system? Is he suggesting that judges have immunity over any case which may be filed against them. Sounds bizarre to me. I hope this is dismissed right away.
Hope to get back to normal schedule this week but I think at least the past week this story has rightly taken priority.
Yes because deal news is the more important thing right now!
The sad truth is that most lawyers in India speak and write such poor English, which makes them unemployable. Many of them, out of sheer resentment, are blocking liberalization because they do not want to see young, "smart" lawyers who speak English fluently getting well-paid jobs in foreign law firms.
Before you mock ML Sharma, please realize that he epitomizes the average Indian lawyer and is more influential than you think.
I still wouldn't care about someone who dies a writ petition serially without using his brains. (sic, as applicable.)
Please get yourself checked. Try justdial for cheap psychiatrists!
You seem to have too much time on your hand to make this BS a statement!
When contacted about the incident by Outlook, the vice-chancellor of the university said “it’s really quite embarrassing”. He would not officially confirm or deny whether SJ had worked for the judge in 2012 on the said date. He insisted he was unaware whether any student had been sent to work with the judge. He said there was no complaint yet and therefore the university could not be expected to act on a blog post. On the judge’s affiliation with the university: “He is taking a class. It will continue....
“No one from the university is willing to speak out against the judge because of the close equation that he shares with the vice-chancellor. They are friends and he had appointed the V-C,” says a faculty member who did not wish to be named.

I think most of the readers have missed the point that the petition has not yet been filed. The above report begins by saying that Mr. Sharma has "prepared a writ petition" but does not mention about its filing or about the court being seized of the matter. In case its not filed yet, Mr. Sharma would do well not to file it at all.
All I know is that he has circulated the petition to media but I haven't enquired further.
That's giving women too much credit.
Seems mr sharma probably had a major fight with his better half and was inspired to pen this masterpiece.
All you information are Up to the points and without any additions and improvement.
I am sure that " legally India" will continue the services to us all without any fear.
I wish You all success.

I read the affidavit of Mr. Sharma trying to haul the hapless intern over the coals without an iota of concern for her plight. The affidavit as reported in your journal is poorly written and seems to defame women by saying that women are prone to revenge and greed and that ladies never speak the truth. Women organizations may be upset and may try to take the petitioner to Court for defamation. The Court would do well to brush this petition aside. The Court committee is seized of the issue and let us await their finding.

Infact it seems like that the writ petition has been filed as a Publicity stunt. This needs to stop.
