New Delhi: Justice Pushpa Ganediwala, who came into limelight because of her controversial judgements in two sexual harassment cases that led to the Supreme Court Collegium withdrawing its recommendation to make her permanent, was given a fresh one-year term as an additional judge at the Bombay high court.
This will come as a setback for her as the SC Collegium had recommended granting her a two-year term. Her new term would be effective from February 13, after her earlier tenure came to an end on Friday.
