, ||Supreme Court Fines Prashant Bhushan Re1
The Supreme Court on Monday sentenced lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan to a Re 1 fine in the contempt of court case, and said he would be jailed for three months and barred from practising for three years if he failed to pay this fine by September 15.
SC precedents say that the in-house procedure should be adopted for complaints of corruption against judges, Justice Arun Mishra said while reading the sentencing order.
The bench had held Bhushan guilty of contempt of court on August 14. The court had taken suo moto cognisance of two of Bhushans tweets after a complaint by one Mahek Maheshwari. The tweets in question were critical of the top court and posted by Bhushan on Twitter on June 27 and June 29. The June 27 tweet said, When historians in future look back at the last 6 years to see how democracy has been destroyed in India even without a formal Emergency, they will particularly mark the role of the Supreme Court in this destruction, & more particularly the role of the last 4 CJIs.
