The Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan has transferred the Boss music school case to a new bench of three judges headed by Justice B N Agarwal. Other judges on the bench are Justices G S Singhvi and H L Dattu. The new bench will hear on March 23 the contempt of court case initiated suo-motu against five members of the music school, namely Leila David, Annette Kotian, Pavithra Murali, Sarita Parikh and Kishor B Parikh for making allegations against 12 Bombay High Court judges as also against five Supreme Court judges including Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan. Sarita Parikh had hurled slipper at Justice Arijit Pasayat yesterday, when he was hearing the petitions filed by them against Bombay High Court order holding them guilty of contempt of High Court. All the four women started shouting and also used abusive language against the judges. Justice Pasayat sentenced the four women to three months simple imprisonment but the order had to be recalled in the evening as another judge on the bench Justice Ashok Kumar Ganguly wanted that the contemptors should be given an opportunity to defend themselves before being sentenced. Later the women were sent to judicial custody till Monday. They had also filed an application demanding that Justice Pasayat should be withdraw from the case. The Boss music school was closed down following complaints from parents about staff members practicing black magic by hypnotising small children. Parents of some children’s had reported the matter to the police. The Bombay High Court had dismissed the petitions of the school against the government order closing down the school. The new bench is likely to decide on Monday whether charges have to be framed against them or they are liable to sentenced straightway
