Chennai, Oct 28 (IANS): The Cyber Crime Wing of Chennai police has registered a case against the retired High Court Justice C.S. Karnan, said his lawyer.

"The Cyber Crime Wing has booked a case against retired Justice Karnan after 10 women lawyers wrote to the Chief Justice of India against him and the apex court's asking the advocates to approach the appropriate authorities," Peter Ramesh Kumar, the counsel for Karnan told IANS.

He said the case has been booked under Sec 295 and 195 of the Indian Penal Code.

Karan had recently released a video in which he was heard making objectionable comments and threatening sexual violence against judiciary officials.
