The Supreme Court today issued non-bailable warrants against-three members of the controversial Mumbai-based Boss School of Music for failing to appear before it in a contempt matter.
A three-judge Bench of Justices Altamas Kabir,G S Singhvi and H L Dattu issued the warrant against Sarita Parikh,Anette Koitan and Leila David and directed the Maharashtra DGP and the Mumbai Police Commissioner to execute the warrants and expressed anguish at the failure of the police so far trace the alleged contemnors.
“The conduct of the Maharashtra police is deprecated,” the Bench said while passing the direction. It asked the police to produce the contemnors before the apex court on November 23.
The Bench passed the order after noticing that despite repeated directions,the trio failed to appear before the court and the police failed to trace them for making contemptuous allegations against the judiciary including the Chief Justice of India even after serving three months sentence for hurling a slipper at a judge of the apex court.
On October 22,2009,the apex court had sentenced the three alleged contemnnors and another member Pavitra Murali to three months imprisonment for committing criminal contempt by throwing a slipper at a judge (Justice Arijit Pasayat-since retired) and levelling wild allegations against the SC and the Bombay High Court.
It had also imposed a cost of Rs one lakh on each of them.
Boss School of Music,operating from a Mumbai suburb,had run into trouble after parents of students studying in the school lodged complaints against the authorities for illegally detaining their wards and allegedly indulging in witchcraft and black magic.
On their plea,the Bombay HC had ordered investigation against the school members,following which they had moved the SC.
Some of the parents of the members of the school had alleged that the institute was indulging in black magic,hypnotism and other illegal activities.
The Boss School of Music was founded by Glen Fernandes in 1996 at Vasai,40 km from Mumbai,and the police have registered several cases against its members earlier.
