HC Judge 'stays' his transfer ordered by CJI
Madras High Court's Justice Karnan today 'stayed' a Chief Justice of India (CJI) order transferring him to the Calcutta High Court. Under law, lower courts cannot make judgments over any existing order of a higher court. Justice Karnan claimed the transfer order violated a 1993 9-judge Supreme Court bench order and requested the CJI "not to interfere" in his jurisdiction.
