Prashant Bhushan defended his tweets, saying they were not intended to disrespect SC or judiciary but to express anguish at what he felt was a 'deviation from its sterling past record'.
Experts say it’s important for judgments to have an authorship, but the new trend of not having an authorship is to just let one wonder as to who has written the judgment.
Supreme Court said Prashant Bhushan can face jail for three months and will be debarred from practice for three years if he doesn't pay Re 1 fine by 15 September.
Reserving its verdict on Bhushan’s sentencing in the contempt case, the SC bench, led by Justice Arun Mishra, said criticism was welcome but not attack or attribution of motives.
Supreme Court directs listing of the contempt case against Prashant Bhushan before another bench on 10 September because Justice Arun Mishra is due to retire on 2 September.
Prashant Bhushan tells Supreme Court an apology cannot be a mere incantation and any apology has to, as the court has itself put it, be sincerely made.
