Justice CS Karnan – who turned away a team of psychiatrists tasked by the Supreme Court to check his mental health last week – has sentenced the Chief Justice of India and seven judges of the Supreme Court to 5 years in jail. His “order” said the judges have been found guilty of caste discrimination, conspiracy, harassment and misuse of contempt proceedings.<\/p>\n

Last week, Justice Karnan ordered that non-bailable warrants be issued against the judges. A day later, the medical experts turned up at his doorstep. The judge claimed he had a “stable mind”, and then contended that the team cannot conduct an evaluation “without the presence of a guardian”.<\/p>\n

The face-off between 61-year-old Justice Karnan and the Supreme Court started earlier this year after he named 20 “corrupt judges” of the country and wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding an investigation.<\/p>\n

As the Supreme Court transferred him from Madras High Court to Kolkata, Justice Karnan hit back, saying he was being victimised as he was a Dalit.<\/p>\n

With summons, contempt and defamation allegation, Justice Karnan has matched every order of the top court. All the counter-orders have been issued from his home, which the judge has termed his “home court”.<\/p>\n

After the top court accused him of contempt, Justice Karnan filed a defamation case against the judges. After one appearance in the court, he demanded that the judges appear before him.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court responded saying it doubts the mental fitness of the judge to defend himself and ordered a psychiatric evaluation. It also asked the courts and tribunals across the country to ignore any order passed by Justice Karnan, who is scheduled to retire within a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
