Mumbai: In a startling revelation, Justice Chinnasamy Swaminathan Karnan of Calcutta High Court, has mentioned names of 20 ‘corrupt’ judges in his letter to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and has urged him to take action against the mentioned persons.
In his letter dated January 23rd , 2017, Justice CS Karnan furnished the prime minister with “an initial list of corrupt judges”, and in addition, three other officers of Madras High Court, who he implied had detailed knowledge and proof of the corrupt acts of the 20 judges.
Justice Karnan asked for all these persons to be “interrogated by the officers of the Central Agencies” – probably referring to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
