Justice C S Karnan of the Calcutta High Court today declined to undergo a medical examination by a four-member medical team from a government hospital here, saying he is "quite normal and has a stable mind". After refusing to undergo a medical check up, Justice Karnan gave in writing to the doctors, "I declined to avail medical treatment since I am quite normal and have a stable mind. "Further my strong view about the Supreme Court order (is that) it amounts to insult and harassment towards the judge (myself)," he said. Justice Karnan told the doctors that for holding such a medical examination, guardian's consent is required. The Supreme Court had on May 1 ordered medical examination of Justice Karnan by a board of doctors, to be set up by a government hospital in Kolkata.
