Retired Kolkata High Court judge Justice CS Karnan, who was arrested and jailed in connection with a contempt of court case, was released from Presidency Jail on Wednesday.

Justice Karnan was arrested by the Kolkata Police in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on June 20.

He was later lodged in Kolkata&#39;s Presidency Jail after the Supreme Court refused to grant him interim bail.

A vacation bench of the apex court, headed by Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, had refused to suspend the six-month prison sentence for Justice Karnan in the case.

Mathew J Nedumpara, a lawyer appearing for Justice Karnan, mentioned the matter before the vacation bench of the top court.

Nedumpara pleaded to the apex court seeking bail and suspension of the six months jail sentence, to which the court observed, &quot;The seven-judge bench had passed the order. It binds everybody. It binds us also.&quot;

The apex court had on May 19 rejected Justice Karnan&#39;s plea for recall of the six-month jail term for contempt of court, stating that the petition was &quot;not maintainable&quot; in the court.

&quot;I am constrained, but to hold that the present writ petition is not maintainable. The relief, if any, lies somewhere else. I, thus, see no reasonable cause to receive the present writ petition for registration under the provisions of order XV, rule (5) of the Supreme Court rules, 2013,&quot; the Supreme Court Registrar said in the order.

Justice Karnan had approached the apex court seeking the recall of its order in which he was convicted and was sentenced to six-month imprisonment.

The top court took suo motu cognizance of numerous letters written by him against judges of the Madras High Court and the apex court and restrained him from exercising administrative and judicial powers from February 8.

Karnan is the first ever sitting judge of a higher court in judicial history to be sentenced to jail term.

Justice CS Karnan refuses medical examination

A day after challenging a seven-judge Bench of the Supreme Court to &ldquo;arrest and put him in jail&rdquo; for contempt, Calcutta High Court judge, Justice CS Karnan continued to be defiant, calling the SC bench &ldquo;unconstitutional&rdquo; and &ldquo;artificial&rdquo; and maintained that the contempt order against him was in violation of principle of natural justice and was not maintainable under the law.

In an exclusive interaction with WION, Justice Karnan also stood by his allegations of corruption against 20 judges in the Madras High Court and claimed that he can establish his case against these judges on the basis of the available administrative record. &ldquo;The 20 judges are corrupted. The administrative record is available on the file of the Madras High Court registry. On the strength of the administrative file, I can establish my case against the 20 judges,&rdquo; he told WION/DNA.

The Calcutta High Court judge also said that &ldquo;all honourable seven judges have no locus standi to constitute and unconstitutional bench and issue a suo motu contempt order against me which is violating the natural principle of justice&rdquo;. &ldquo;Article 19 (1) G of the Constitution duly permits to all citizens freedom of speech, writing etc,&rdquo; he added.

Asked whether he was ready to tender an unconditional apology to the apex court, Justice Karnan said, &ldquo;No..no..no..no. They are contemnors. Yesterday, I passed judicial order and I declared that all seven judges are contemnors...all seven judges are accused under the SC/ST Atrocities Act...further directed the Registrar General not to allot any administrative or judicial work &nbsp;to the honourable judges because they are accused under the SC/ST Atrocities Act.&rdquo;

On whether he had any locus standi in passing an order on the SC judges, Justice Karnan said, &ldquo;Yes, the Indian Constitution permits. Under the provision of the Constitution, I can pass orders. I am also having interim power. This SC bench is not a regular bench...it is an unconstitutional bench...artificial bench. In order to harass me, the bench was artificially constituted.&rdquo; 
&nbsp; 
Karnan further said that &ldquo;the point of unconditional apology does not arise because so far there is no discussion or findings that I am contemnor&rdquo;. &ldquo;The suo motu contempt initiated by the seven judge bench is not maintainable under the law. Law does not permit this. There was no original jurisdiction...no cause of action...no provision. What relief are the honourable judges seeking against me? So far they haven&rsquo;t disclosed,&rdquo; he told WION/DNA.

Karnan also made it clear that he will &ldquo;not appear before the honourable seven judges since they are accused under the SC/ST Atrocities Act&rdquo;.

When asked about his future course of action, Justice Karnan said, &ldquo;I want to execute my order.&rdquo; Asked as to how will he do that, he responded, &ldquo;Wait and see a couple of days.&rdquo; On his dare to the SC asking it to put him in jail, the judge said, &ldquo;Law doesn&rsquo;t permit that. They cannot put me in jail.&rdquo;

Karnan further said that he had written a complaint against 20 corrupt judges to the Prime Minister of India since the &ldquo;PM of India has power...is a high competent authority to order an inquiry on my complaint&rdquo;. &ldquo;However, the honourable judges suo motu issued contempt proceedings against me...before that there is no prior notice...judicial and administrative work was taken off from me without hearing my side. Actually, there is no discussion..no findings that I am contemnor but the honourable judges direct me to come and appear before them,&rdquo; he added.

&quot;I am also holding constitutional office. One constitutional office should not stand (against) another constitutional office,&quot; he said.

EXCLUSIVE: SC contempt order not maintainable under law, Justice Karnan tells WION

Controversial Calcutta High Court judge Justice C S Karnan today appeared before the Supreme Court which granted him four weeks&#39; time to respond to the contempt notice while rejecting the submission that his administrative and judicial powers be restored.

A seven-judge bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar took note of personal appearance of Justice Karnan, a first in the history of Indian judiciary, and asked him to respond to the allegations levelled against various judges in his several communications.

At the outset, the bench, also comprising Justices Dipak Misra, J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, M B Lokur, P C Ghose and Kurian Joseph asked Justice Karnan as to whether he was willing to tender an unconditional apology and withdraw his earlier communications in which he had made allegations against various judges.

As Justice Karnan was not forthright in his response, the bench suggested him to take time and legal assistance in responding to the question.

Justice Karnan in his response, alleged discrimination and &quot;social boycott&quot; by companion judges on various grounds including his caste and said that even the Supreme Court issued the contempt notice and took away his administrative and judicial rights without hearing him.

&quot;I made complaints to the Chief Justice of India and the Prime Minister. A suo motu contempt proceeding was initiated against me. Before hearing me, my work was withdrawn. My dignity has been hurt in the eyes of general public. I am also holding a Constitutional position. Do I have any respect, or dignity?&quot; Justice Karnan said.

He said police officials had entered his office to serve the warrant and since he is a sitting judge holding a Constitutional office, &quot;the insult is not only to me, but to the entire judiciary&quot;.

To this the bench said that earlier, it had issued notice to Justice Karnan and when he failed to appear before it then only it issued a bailable warrant against him.

&quot;When we had issued notice to you, it was served. You did not enter appearance. It is a normal procedure. You did not appear that&#39;s why bailable warrant was issued. We are not saying you are an accused. Despite being a judge and understanding all the consequences, you did not appear,&quot; the bench told Justice Karnan.
