Aditi Kumar Sharma, a Civil Judge from Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol, has resigned from service after the judicial officer she had accused of harassment was recently made a judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
Her resignation came just hours after the Central government cleared the elevation of District Judge Rajesh Kumar Gupta to the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Judge Gupta is yet to take oath.
In her resignation letter addressed to the Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Sharma wrote,
"With every ounce of my moral strength and emotional exhaustion, I hereby resign from judicial service not because I lost faith in justice, but because justice lost its way inside the very institution sworn to protect it."
