Kolkata: Former Calcutta High Court judge C S Karnan is set to be released on Wednesday after serving a six- month jail sentence, which was handed out to him by the Supreme Court for contempt. Karnan was arrested from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu on June 20 after he evaded the police for over a month. His wife, Saraswati Karnan, who resides in Chennai, is scheduled to arrive in the city this evening, along with her elder son. "He (Karnan) is scheduled to be released tomorrow. I am coming to Kolkata to accompany him back to Chennai," Saraswati Karnan told PTI over phone.
