The Gender Sensitization and Internal Complaints Committee (GSICC) set up in the Supreme Court in November 2013, headed by Hon'ble Justice Mrs. Ranjana P. Desai, with an objective to sensitize the public to gender issues and to address sexual harassment complaints in the premises of the Supreme Court, published a circular with order against Advocate C.S. Nagesh in a sexual harassment complaint.
The Chief Justice of India on 15th March, 2014, passed the following order:
"Having considered the Report of the GSICC dated 4th March, 2014, which unanimously accepted the Report of the Internal Sub Committee dated 21st February, 2014, recommending debarring the entry of Mr. C.S. Nagesh, Advocate, into the Supreme Court precincts for a specified period extending upto a maximum period of one year and/or any other orders, as deemed fit, I am of the view that, in the first instance; six months' bar on entry into the Supreme Court precincts would suffice, considering the fact that, except the instant case, no other incident of this nature relating to Mr. Nagesh has been reported. This penalty, in my view, would not only allow him to redeem himself but also would operate as a deterrent against him."
