Calcutta High Court Justice C.S. Karnan, sentenced to jail for six months by the Supreme Court, reached here on Tuesday and moved into the State Guest House.

An employee at the guest house confirmed that Karnan was there.

The apex court ordered the Director General of West Bengal Police to set up a team to implement its order "forthwith".

The Supreme Court also restrained the media from reporting any statements made by Karnan.

He was found guilty of contempt for levelling corruption charges against apex court judges including the Chief Justice.
