On August 25, a bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra, BR Gavai and Krishna Murari had reserved its order on the quantum sentence, after Bhushan declined to apologize for the tweets.
Today, the Supreme Court took a 30-minute break from the hearing to allow Prashant Bhushan to think on withdrawing a 100-page statement he submitted on Monday, in which he refused to apologise for his tweets.
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.
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.
The Chief Justice termed it odd that the apex court has to explain this process to the lawyers instead of them being well aware about this process and how it works.
