The affidavit given by Prashant Bhushan states, ‘All the tweets that I have tweeted are such that I have a genuine opinion about the manner and functioning of the Supreme Court in the last years and especially the last four Regarding the role of Chief Justices, their role in curbing the powers of the executive and ensuring that the Supreme Court functions in a transparent and accountable manner, forces them to say that they contributed to the weakening of democracy. ‘
It further states, ‘Freedom of expression and right to criticism include fair and strong criticism of the judiciary. This is not in any way contempt of court or diminishing the dignity of the court. ‘
In a tweet on 27 June, Bhushan played the last four Chief Justice of the Supreme Court – Justices SA Bobde, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Deepak Mishra and Justice JS Khehar – for the destruction of democracy without a formal emergency in the last six years. Was criticized.
Another contempt proceeding is going on against Prashant Bhushan, in which it is alleged that in an interview given to Tehelka magazine in 2009, he had made unwarranted allegations of corruption on the former judges, which led to contempt of court.
The court has decided to conduct a detailed hearing on this matter.
Prashant Bhushan has been continuously raising issues related to the judiciary and recently he sharply criticized the attitude of the apex court in the case of workers migrating from other states during the Covid-19 epidemic.
Bhushan also gave statements about the treatment being done to the jailed civil rights activists like Varvara Rao and Sudha Bhardwaj, accused in the Bhima-Koregaon case.
