Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, in a reply filed in the Supreme Court, said, 'My tweets were in good faith, on which I want to continue. Conditional or unconditional apology for expression on these beliefs would be insincere. He said, 'I have given these statements in good faith with all the truth and details which have not been dealt with by the court. If I turn away from the statement before this court, I believe that if I offer a sincere apology, then I would be in contempt of my conscience and I respect the institution which I highly respect.'
Prashant Bhushan said, 'I have the highest respect for the institute. I did this not to discredit the SC or any particular CJI, but to offer constructive criticism which is my duty. My remarks are constructive and intended to prevent the SC from wandering from its long-term role as the protector of the Constitution and the protector of the rights of the people. Prashant Bhushan was found guilty of contempt of court for his two tweets against the judiciary and the CJI.
