Karnan, the sitting Judge of Calcutta High Court, guilty of contempt of court and imposed 6 months&#8217; imprisonment upon him and as a consequence, he was barred from performing any administrative or judicial functions.

Following which Justice Karnan had not only refused to let the medical team examine him but also awarded 5 years imprisonment to the 7 members of the Bench along with R. Banumathi, J under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 for harassing a Dalit Judge by initiating a suo mot contempt proceeding against him and directing a medical examination. He had earlier barred the 8 Judges from travelling abroad and had suggested that they resign in the interest of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing that the incident of contempt includes public statements and publication of orders made by the contemnor, which were highlighted by the electronic and print media, the Court directed that\u00a0 no further statements made by him should be published hereafter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2017\/02\/08\/justice-karnan-the-sitting-judge-of-calcutta-high-court-refrained-from-handling-any-judicial-or-administrative-work\/#\">Justice Karnan<\/a>, who is a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2017\/02\/08\/justice-karnan-the-sitting-judge-of-calcutta-high-court-refrained-from-handling-any-judicial-or-administrative-work\/#\">sitting judge of Calcutta High Court<\/a>, had written letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to take actions against the corrupt sitting and retired Judges of the Supreme Court and Madras High Court when he was a Judge of the Madras High Court and had passed an injunction against his own transfer orders.
