Then former judicial officer resigned in July 2014 and thereafter she had moved apex Court seeking reinstatement on the ground that she was forced to resign.

A Bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai noted that the resignation tendered by the woman judge was not voluntary. The court also quashed and set aside the order to accept her resignation.

The Court directed the respondents to reinstate the woman forthwith as judge.

The woman judge resigned from service when she was transferred to some other place claiming that her transfer was malafide.

She later moved to Supreme Court challenging her resignation and sought reinstatement to service.
