Prashant Bhushan was held guilty of contempt for his tweets on the Chief Justice of India.
New Delhi:
Lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan, held guilty of contempt for his tweets on Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and the Supreme Court, has refused to retract or apologise as the three-day time window given by the court expired today.
“Retracting the statement or offering insincere apology would amount to contempt of my conscience,” Mr Bhushan told the three-judge bench hearing the case.
At the last hearing on Thursday, the court had sought an unconditional apology and gave the 63-year-old a few days to “reconsider” his statement.
