, || Prashant Bhushan Refuses To Apologise To SC ||
Expressing dismay at the Supreme Court's verdict holding him guilty of "malicious, scurrilous, calculated attack"on the institution, activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan said he was pained that he had been held guilty of contempt of the very court whose dignity he had tried to uphold for over three-decades.
He said, "I am pained, not because I may be punished, but because I have been grossly misunderstood."
In a statement on August 20, Bhushan reiterated that the two tweets for which he had been held guilty of contempt, represented his "bonafide beliefs", saying that the expression of which must be permissible in any democracy. He added, "Failing to speak up would have been a dereliction of duty, especially for an officer of the court like myself."
"My tweets were nothing but a small attempt to discharge what I considered to be my highest duty at this juncture in the history of our republic. I did not tweet in a fit of absence mindedness. It would be insincere and contemptuous on my part to offer an apology for the tweets that expressed what was and continues to be my bonafide belief," Bhushan said.
