Express photoJustice CS Karnan on Thursday declined to undergo medical examination ordered by the Supreme Court. Justice Karnan also gave the team of doctors a written note where he said he had declined medical treatment. Further, he stated that since the consent of guardians was required to hold such a medical test, and given that none of his family members were present to act as guardians, he said the medical test could not be held. Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court had ordered a medical examination for Justice Karnan. The bench, which was presided over and headed by the Chief Justice of India, Justice JS Khehar, also sent directives that no lower courts or tribunal courts should take orders from Justice Karnan.
