While a team of West Bengal has been stationed in Chennai since May 10 to execute the Supreme Court directive, it has been unable to apprehend Justice Karnan yet.
Because of the apex court’s order, Justice Karnan will not receive a formal farewell and will not get a chance to give his farewell speech at the court, becoming the first high court judge to miss out his farewell.
Justice Karnan is accused of writing disparaging letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and the Supreme Court Registrar about sitting and retired judges of the Supreme and High Courts.
