The Supreme Court has sentenced 3 women members of Mumbai's controversial 'Boss School of Music' to 3 months imprisonment for hurling a slipper at a judge but the order was changed soon afterwards giving them the chance to defend the contempt.
A woman today took off her slipper and flung it at a Supreme Court judge, but the missile fell short of a stunned Justice Arijit Pasayat who ducked in the nick of time.
In a move that may severely impact the transparency of the judicial system in India, judges of the apex court have said that information about their assets should be kept out of the ambit of the Right to Information Act (RTI) act.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said its judges are not averse to declaring their assets and Parliament can enact a law pertaining to such declaration, but it must be ensured that the law is not misused.
Final preparations for the impeachment of Justice Soumitra Sen of Calcutta High Court on charges of corruption got underway with Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan setting up a three-member judicial team to draft the chargesheet against him.
