Former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee has questioned the apex court's authority to take up the intern harassment case. In an exclusive interview with Headlines Today eminent jurist Chatterjee said, "I have no idea about the source of authority of the SC to get into the matter... neither any rule nor law that contemplates such enquiry by the Supreme Court Chief Justice".

Talking further on the case he said, " NCW does not mean that they can come to any conclusion".

He pitched in his support for Justice Ganguly and said that he has been unfairly targeted.

"I find it difficult to believe that Ashok can do this...I know him since his young days...but still there should be a fair trial and only then should he be punished".
