A bench comprising justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and M.M. Sundresh held the chairperson of an NGO guilty of contempt for not depositing Rs 25 lakh for "scandalizing and browbeating" the apex court.
The sentence by the apex court pertains to Bhushan’s two tweets that were seen as derogatory remarks against the judiciary.
'Why are Courts helpless when institutions that need to protect the constitution and the laws show ‘open contempt’ for both?' he said.
During the hearing, senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan quoted Mahatma Gandhi and contended that he will not apologise for the two tweets and cheerfully accept the punishment that will be given to him.
The group criticized the statement issued by 'Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms', (CJAR) on August 15, condemning the judgment and further calling upon the Supreme Court, and every judge, to reconsider their decision.
Advocate Bhushan has said that he was 'exercising his freedom of speech' and giving his opinion about the functioning of the court, and it does not amount to 'obstruction of justice', necessitating the contempt proceedings.
