Guilty of contempt of court, Lawyer and Activist, Bhushan today deposited Re 1 penalty as punishment stated by the Supreme Court.
Though he is submitting the fine that does not mean he is also accepting the judgement, he said.
“I am going to the Supreme Court registry to deposit Re 1 fine imposed on me in relation to the contempt of court case. That I am depositing the fine does not mean I am accepting the judgment. I will be filing a review petition against it today,” Bhushan said to media persons outside the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court was held Bhushan guilty of criminal contempt for his tweets criticising the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of India SA Bobde. The court had on August 31 imposed a token fine of Re 1 as a punishment.
