Gonda, Uttar Pradesh: A judge in Uttar Pradesh who has been accused of molesting a 13-year-old in his chambers will be questioned today by the additional district judge of Gonda.
The teen, whose family has filed a complaint with the police, will also be questioned about the allegations by the additional district judge. Her parents will be present during the questioning.
The local police in Gonda, a three- hour drive from the state capital of Lucknow, says it cannot register a case against the judge without permission from the Allahabad High Court. However, experts say that's not true.
The Allahabad High Court has asked the additional district judge at the Gonda court to investigate the allegations against the judge, both by the teen and a 21-year-old woman.
Both women claim that the judge molested them on Monday in his chambers. The older woman says she did not try to file a police complaint because she was nervous about taking on a judge.
Both the alleged victims were testifying to the judge in cases of kidnapping.
