After being sentenced to 6 months in jail by the supreme court, it appears that the dalit justice karnan has disappeared. On the day the sentence was pronounced, it appears that he had insider contacts who warned him that he was likely to be arrested, so he left Kolkata for Chennai early in the morning. In chennai he had a far better network, as he had worked as a AAIDMK booth level polling agent. In chennai he gave an interview with times of india, which the newspaper could not publish as the supreme court also ordered the media not to publish any statement from justice karnan.
Now the police from Kolkata have to waste their time searching for the justice karnan in what is a fairly petty case, a dispute between judges which is causing the waste of indian tax payer money, as the police are not going to search for Karnan spending their own savings. It is this inability to resolve disputes amicably, which is causing the waste of indian tax payer money and problems in many places
