SC orders medical examination of Calcutta HC judge Karnan

May 01, 2017 11:48

The Supreme court today ordered a medical examination of Calcutta high court judge CS Karnan, escalating an unprecedented confrontation within the judiciary.

No one can say such things and get away, the bench said on Monday after Karnan did not heed summons to appear before it.

Karnan has accused a number of apex court judges, including the chief justice of corruption, which triggered a first contempt proceeding ever against a sitting HC judge.

Today, the top court declared all orders passed by him invalid and said no court or tribunal shall take cognisance of his directions.
