Calcutta High Court judge C S Karnan (Source: ANI) Calcutta High Court judge C S Karnan (Source: ANI)Legal experts are dismayed at the turn of events relating to Calcutta High Court judge C S Karnan against whom the Supreme Court, in an unprecedented move, issued an arrest warrant to secure his presence. Sorabjee said Justice Karnan was only “aggravating” the contempt and making things worse for himself. Agreeing with Sorabjee, Venugopal, who has been appearing for the Registrar General of the Madras High Court in the case, said Justice Karnan has been given more than one opportunity to appear. “It (the SC) gave Justice Karnan more than one opportunity to appear before it. Nobody should take him seriously.”Terming Justice Karnan’s action as contrary to the law, Singh said, “There cannot be an FIR against the Chief Justice of India.”
