Retired justice C S Karnan has told the West Bengal housing department and the registrar general of the Calcutta high court he could not be evicted from his flat at Rosedale Complex in New Town till his order against eight Supreme Court judges were not executed. He said he wanted to continue at the Rosedale flat that served as his home and “make-shift court”.

Karnan was given the accommodation when he was transferred to the Calcutta high court.

The new development over the Rosedale Complex started when the housing department wrote to the judicial department secretary last month, mentioning that the retired judge had to vacate the government-maintained flat, which had to be given out to others. A few days later, the registrar general of the Calcutta HC sent a letter to Karnan. When contacted, Karnan said, “I have sent a reply to the housing department and the registrar general of the Calcutta HC. I have also sent copies to the International Court of Justice, Netherlands and the United Nations Security Council.”
