Judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimirad said the incident took place in downtown Tehran. News reports say two gunmen, driving a motorcycle, fired at Judge Massoud Moghadassi while he was leaving the court building. The gunmen escaped.
Ganji, an outspoken critic of Iran's clerical leadership, was imprisoned in 2001 following a series of articles in which he linked officials to the murder of political dissidents.
He has been on hunger strike for more than 50 days. Former President Ali-Akbar Rashemi-Rafsanjani last week called for his release.
