Judge Suspended for Sexual Harassment

A district and sessions judge in Bihar has been suspended on charges of sexually harassing a judicial magistrate. Sudhanshu Kumar Lal, district and sessions judge of Jamui, was suspended on Wednesday after a Patna High Court standing committee framed charges against him, court sources said. Lal, former secretary of the Bihar State Legal Services Authority, allegedly harassed the woman officer during his tenure as district judge in Jehanabad between August 2001 and April 2005. She had filed a petition against him in June.
