Supreme Court turns down Justice C S Karnan's appeal against arrest order
Justice Karnan, who was sentenced to imprisonment by the top court on contempt ground-the first of its kind in the country's judicial history-appealed to it last week against his conviction questioning about its constitutional validity.
He was held guilty of contempt by a seven-judge constitution bench after he named 20 judges he said were "corrupt".
After his conviction, justice Karnan went missing and the police of three states-West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh- made futile attempts to locate him.
The apex court has banned the media from reporting any of his statements or rulings as Justice Karnan has defied the Supreme Court at every step by coming out with his own "rulings" against the seven judges.
