Calcutta High Court judge C.S. Karnan has contacted Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) national president Mayawati, and she has extended her “support” to the Judge, his lawyer has said.

Speaking to The Hindu, the lawyer W. Peter Ramesh said the BSP chief had offered “full cooperation” for Justice Karnan’s proposed protest demonstration and day-long hunger strike in Lucknow.

On March 10, the Supreme Court issued a bailable warrant against him in relation to a contempt-of-court order issued against him in February. Justice Karnan refused to accept the warrant.

As for the reason for contacting Ms. Mayawati, Mr. Ramesh said the BSP chief was a “prominent Dalit leader”, and Justice Karnan had made it clear that he was being “targeted by the Supreme Court for being a Dalit.”


According to the judge’s associates, the BSP leadership has not only offered full cooperation but will also “participate in Justice Karnan’s protest in Lucknow.” Justice Karnan has not only accused the seven- judge Bench of the Supreme Court of targeting him because he is a Dalit but has also instructed the CBI to start a probe against them and Attorney-General Mukul Rohtagi.

According to Mr. Ramesh, apart from Lucknow, Justice Karnan will also hold protests and a daylong hunger strike in Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata. The dates of the protest are yet to be finalised.

i have no ulterior motive. people from one part of the country reaching out to people of other parts of the country for help strengthens the national fabric in my opinion.
