Heard Mrs. Munshi, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Sonare, learned AGP for respondents No. 1 to 3 and Shri Gaikwad, learned counsel for respondent No. 4. The learned AGP has filed reply affidavit. The Constitution of Committee to inquire into allegations of sexual harassment is not in dispute. The proceedings are also initiated. Shri Gaikwad, learned counsel states that Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, will not be applicable as alleged delinquent is himself belonging to Scheduled Tribe. Mrs. Munshi, learned counsel is not disputing the facts emerging from the affidavit of State Government. However, she states that the matter pertains to sexual harassment and as the petitioner is working, the learned counsel will like the petitioner to go through the reply and thereafter this Court may pass 2 appropriate orders. The arguments of Mrs. Munshi, learned counsel does not appeal to us. If the petitioner finds anything wrong or misleading in the affidavit, liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court in the matter. With liberty to the petitioner and observations that the inquiry should be completed at the earliest, we dispose of the present petition. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
