Justice Karnan also directed the Chief Justice of India to submit his written statement through his subordinates in the Madras High Court by April 29 and stayed his transfer order till such time.

In Malayalam there is a saying, “Kurunthottikku vaatham pidichaal enthu cheyyum?” (Kurunthotti is a traditionally used ayurvedic medicinal plant used in treatment of arthritis. The question raised is, ‘if the medicinal plant gets arthritis, what one can do?’). This is not the first time a judge has tried to become popular by going out of the way. Only the judge’s colleagues and seniors in the hierarchy can resolve such issues.
