The plea, which was filed on Wednesday, before the top court would likely to come up for hearing within a week or so, as per SC registry. The victim pleaded that this court has to decide whether a victim like her can be rendered remediless, as her only option being to wait for the accused to demit his office and render the entire procedure a mere lip service, the plea said.The victim in her complaint claimed that the WB Governor had called her on April 24 and May 2 on the false pretext of offering a better job, but in stead of this, he allegedly sexually harass within the premises of Raj Bhavan during working hours.The petitoner said that she was rendered voiceless and shunned to a life of depravity and ridicule. The Governor under the garb of discharging his official duties, conducts himself in a deplorable manner.The petitioner also sought a direction from the apex court that she be provided the police protection by the State and also be compensated as well for the trauma she suffered during the course.In a similar development in the case, the Calcutta High Court had in May stayed the proceedings against the Officer on Special Duty (OSD-II) to the Governor after he was booked for allegedly restraining the victim and pressurising her to refrain from lodging any complaint of sexual harassment against the Governor.
