"The seven judges have prevented me in carrying out my judicial and administrative works from 8 February till now. Therefore, I am calling upon all seven judges to pay compensation, a sum of Rs 14 crore as compensation since you disturbed my mind and my normal life, besides you have insulted me in the general public due to lack of legal knowledge," The Times of India reported him saying.

The SC had issued bailable arrest warrant against him on 10 March and ordered him to be present before the court on 31 March, as he has defied the SC summons twice.
