Judiciary THE Justice C.S. The process by which Justice Karnan got elevated to the position of High Court judge lacks transparency. The Supreme Court’s handling of Justice Karnan’s misconduct is questionable. N.C. Sreedharan, Kannur, Kerala WHILE Justice Karnan was serving as a High Court judge in Chennai, the then Chief Justices of the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court did not take seriously his erratic actions and dubious judicial orders. The Supreme Court’s contempt proceedings against Justice Karnan can be viewed as a retaliation for his ex parte verdict against seven judges after he was divested of his judicial powers.
