Unprecedented: Madras HC judge 'stays' own transfer order by SC, says will order FIR against apex court judges



Chennai: Known for his penchant for controversies, Justice CS Karnan of the Madras High Court has said that he would order an FIR to be registered against the two Supreme Court judges under the SC/ST ( Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Justice CS Karnan is currently under transfer to the Calcutta High Court and restrained by a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court from taking judicial work.

According to TOI, Justice CS Karnan has said that only allocation of judicial work has been stopped, his judicial powers are still with him. "I will pass a suo motu judicial order to the Chennai police commissioner to register an FIR against the two judges," Justice Karnan said.

Earlier, Justice CS Karnan of Madras High Court on Monday had "stayed" the order of the Chief Justice of India transferring him to Calcutta High Court.

Under law, a lower court cannot sit in judgment over an order of higher court, more so the Supreme Court.
