Dalit Judge Calls Supreme Court Judges “Terrorists”, Refuses To Undergo Check-Up 

Kolkata: Continuing his defiance, Calcutta High Court Justice C.S. Karnan on Thursday refused to undergo any check-up after a medical team turned up at his residence in Kolkata.

Following a Supreme Court order, a team of doctors arrived at his residence to conduct medical check-ups, however, Karnan declared he was "absolutely normal".

Amid high drama, as media persons, curious onlookers and police swarmed his New Town residence here, Karnan hit out at the seven apex court judges, calling them "terrorists" and their order an insult to a "Dalit judge".

"Medical treatment is not required to (sic) me. Medical treatment is required to (sic) the patient. I am alright. I am not a patient. Yes, I am more than normal," Karnan told the team of four doctors from the state-run Calcutta Pavlov Hospital, who were assigned to conduct a test to determine his mental condition.

Karnan, who has been on a confrontation with the Supreme Court ever since the top court issued contempt charges, even invited the team of doctors inside his house and offered them tea. He told them his wife and sons were not in Kolkata and such a test can't be done without the consent of his family.

"My wife and one son is in Chennai. The other son is abroad. So in the absence of any guardian, my family, I cannot allow you to examine me, as that is legally wrong," he said. Instead, he handed a signed letter to the doctors addressed to the chairman of the medical board constituted to examine him. — IANS.
