NEW DELHI, JAN. 15. The Supreme Court will pronounce orders on March 6 on whether the Booker Prize winner, Arundhati Roy, had committed contempt of court or not. It has also asked her to be present in court on that day.

A Bench comprising Justice G.B. Pattanaik and Justice R.P. Sethi has rejected her application seeking transfer of the case to another Bench.

The Court had issued suo motu contempt notice to Ms. Roy taking exception to certain paragraphs in her affidavit while replying to a petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against her for allegedly raising slogans against the Supreme Court during a demonstration held near the court gate in December 2000.
