NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today warned Calcutta High Court judge Justice C S Karnan, who is evading arrest, for sending his advocate repeatedly to seek urgent hearing against the award of six month jail term to him, and even told his lawyer that he could be thrown out of the court.

The apex court came down heavily against his lawyer Mathews J Nedumpara, who was told that he can even be asked to be “thrown out” of the court for making it a habit to mention the matter “over and over again”.

“We are saying no and yet you (lawyer) continue to come again and again. You come five times or 20 times. But we are telling you that you are interfering with the process of the court. Everyday you are interfering with the process of court.

“We are liberal to you. It is for you to understand, we can be liberal and harsh,” a five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khahar, which was hearing a batch of pleas on ‘triple talaq’, said. (AGENCIES)
