Former Supreme Court judge A K Ganguly need not resign from the chairmanship of West Bengal Human Rights Commission (WBHRC) in the wake of sexual harassment allegation against him as it would set a "dangerous precedent", former Attorney-General Soli Sorabjee said in an interview.

"No. I don't think so. Because he says these allegations are baseless. Why should he?... We are in the realm of accusations," Sorabjee said when asked whether Ganguly, who is accused by a young woman law intern of sexually harassing her, should resign from the post of WBHRC chairman in the wake of allegations. He was speaking to Karan Thapar on CNN-IBN's Devil's Advocate programme.
