Hello, hope you are doing well!

Advocate Prashant Bhushan was punished to pay a Rs.1 fine within September 15 or else he will be jailed and debarred from practicing for a complete 3years time period. He was asked for an apology but he repeatedly denied to apologize.

On 14th August he was punished as he was found guilty for posting two of his disrespectful tweets which eventually criticized the functioning of the Indian judiciary in an unfair manner. This was a case of criminal contempt.

On 24th August, he wrote to the Supreme court that it was the final hope for him to be able to protect Freedom of Speech.
