Full text of Justice C S Karnan's letter demanding compensation from SC

The Calcutta HC judge says he should be compensated as his mind and normal life have been disturbed

Sitting Calcutta High Court Judge Justice CS Karnan has in a letter addressed to seven senior most judges demanded a compensation of Rs. 14 crore for disturbing his mind and normal life.

This came days after a bailable warrant was issued against him for his allegations against the Supreme Court and High Court judges.

Justice Karnan has said if his demand is not met then he would restrain the judicial and administrative work of these judges.

Justice Karnan in his two-page letter to the seven judges said, "You have constituted an unconstitutional bench after breaking the Indian constitutional law and passed a suo motu contempt order and restrained me from judicial and administrative work and that order was passed with malafide intention in order to harass a Dalit Judge (myself)."

"Judge means a dignified person of law who has to hear both sides of the case and pass an order in accordance with law. Hence, I request you (CJI and other six judges) to cancel the unconstitutional bench and restore my normal work. The seven judges should pay compensation, a sum of Rs 14 crores since you have disturbed my mind and my normal life, besides you have insulted me in the general public consisting of a population of 120 crores in India due to lack of legal knowledge," the letter added.

In his letter, he alleged that these senior judges have issued the order to protect the 20 judges against whom he has filed a complaint about dishonesty.

"All seven judges shall pay a part of the compensation within a period of seven days from the receipt of this order, failing which on the same stand (on the same footing), I will restrain judicial and administrative work of yours," the letter states.

Chief Jusitce of India

 

Justice Deepak Mishra

Justice Ranjan Gogoi

   My Lords, You have constituted an unconstitutional Bench after breaking the Indian COnstitutional Law and passed a Suo-Motu contempt order against me in Suo-Motu Contempt Petition No. 1 of 2017 wherein you have restrained my judicial and administrative work, the order has been passed with malafide intention in order mto harass a Dalit Judge (myslef).

 

The facutal position of the case is that I have levelled a camplaint dated 23.01.2017, against 20 Judges for dishonesty before the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India which is pending enquiry. Under these circumstances, the abpve mentioned Judges have issued a Suo-Motu contempt order in order to protect the corrupt Judges. As such the abpve mentioned Hon'ble Judges have also colluded with them and secured their support by the way of operating judicial power out of the cause of action, out of jurisdiction, out of provision and constituted a wrong forum.

 

Judge means a dignified person of Law who has to hear both sides of the case and pass order in accordance with law. In the instant case of Hon'ble Judges have defended the case on behalf of the 20 erring Judges. Therefore, the Hon'ble seven Judges and other 20 Judges as mentioned are the Opposite parties/repondents and myslef  a complainant. As such the Hon'ble seven Judges passed a Suo-Motu oprder which is illegal and improper. Hence I request you to cancel the unconstitutional Bench and restore my nornal work.

 

However, the Hon'ble seven Judges have prevented me in carrying out my judicial and administrative work from 08.02.2017 until now. Theerfore, I am calling up on all seven Judges to pay compensation since you have disturbed my mind and my nornal life, besides you have insulted me in the general public consisting of 120 crore in India due to lack of legal knowledge. Now all the seven Judges shall pay a part of the compensation within a period of seven days from the date of receipt of this order, failing which on the same stand of yours (same footing), I will restrain Judicial and administrative work of yours.

 

This is for your information.

 

Yours,

Justice CS Karnan
