Court held guilty of criminal contempt for his two derogatory tweets against the judiciary on August 14, saying they cannot be said to be a fair criticism of the functioning of the judiciary made in the public interest. Bhushan in his application stated that he intends to file a review petition against the order of August 14 after studying it in detail and seeking appropriate legal counsel as the ramification of the said order is of grave constitutional significance, in particular on the right to free speech.
