The Supreme Court will on Monday pronounce the order on the quantum of sentence in the contempt case against activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan, who has been held guilty of tweets against the judiciary. On August 14, the top court held Bhushan guilty of criminal contempt for his derogatory tweets against the judiciary. The bench noted that judges are condemned and their families are humiliated. Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, representing Bhushan, argued that the apex court could say in the judgment that it did not agree with Bhushan. The bench noted that a person should realise his mistake and cited that it gave time to Bhushan, but he refused to apologize.
