The court asked Mr. Bhushan, who was present in court, to file his reply to the contempt petitions. Both the government and Attorney General K.K. Mr. Bhushan tweeted that the government, through Attorney General K.K. The government contended that the tweets “wilfully and deliberately” made a false statement in a case pending in court. While Mr. Venugopal said he did not want the court to impose any punishment on Mr. Bhushan, the government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, was of the opposite opinion.
