The intern's complaint in a legal portal earlier this month that the judge had misbehaved with her had prompted the Supreme Court to set up a committee of three of its judges, to go into the matter.
The name of the judge against whom the allegation was made was made public today after an official of the apex court disclosed that the Committee had recorded statements of the intern as well as Justice Ganguly.
"I am denying everything. I have told the committee that all the allegations levelled by the intern are wrong. I don't know how such allegations have been levelled against me," he told PTI.
He was giving his reaction after it was also officially disclosed that the three-judge committee has submitted its report to the Chief Justice of India.

"I totally deny the allegations. I am a victim of situations," he told television channels.
He said the charges against him were totally wrong. The girl had not raised any sexual harassment issue with him, he said, adding that he had not done any physical harm to her.
The former judge said the intern worked with him though she was not officially allocated to him. She came in the place of another intern who had gone abroad after marriage. "I never put up a poster. She came on her own."
Later, when he appeared at a public function, the judge was followed by who sought his comments on the controversy.
"I will not say anything. What kind of a question is this,?" he shot back.
He also refused to say whether he would resign from the post of chairman of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission.
