Justice Karnan has to file a reply in the case.
The seven-judge bench headed by Chief Justice J. S. Khehar heard the matter.

The same day the apex court had suspended Justice Karnan's order and made it clear that all administrative and judicial orders passed by him after the issuance of the proposal of his transfer from the Madras High Court to the Calcutta High Court shall remain stayed till further orders.
