- Taking strong exception to the insinuation by members of Boss music school against Bombay high court judges, the Supreme Court on Friday issued contempt notice to them with a warning that failure to respond within 10 days would lead to their arrest.
- Leila David and Annette Kotian, members of Vasai-based Boss Music School, had filed petitions seeking arrest of 10 HC judges for allegedly not hearing their matter “in a free and fair manner”.
- “If you don’t reply on or before September 10 you will be arrested and produced before the court and you will not be released,” the bench said. The two women, who argued their case themselves, refused to withdraw the charges against the judges.
- The judges also took exception to their plea that the CJI should withdraw from the bench hearing their petition. “That I will decide. Choose your words carefully otherwise you have to face the consequences,” CJI Balakrishnan told them.
- “We have perused the allegations which are very serious in nature. We have spent time on the two petitions. The allegations amount to contempt of court,” the CJI added.
