Coimbatore: Absconding former Calcutta high court judge C.S. Karnan was on Tuesday arrested in Coimbatore, more than a month after the Supreme Court sentenced him to six months imprisonment for contempt of court. “We have arrested former high court judge Karnan from south India,” a senior officer of the Crime Investigation Department (CID) told PTI in Kolkata. He was transferred to the Calcutta high court on 11 March 2016. He was transferred from the Madras high court for his repeated allegations and run-ins with its then chief justice and fellow judges.
