#NotContemptMyLords Don't cut your nose to spite your face. Prashant has done no wrong.
Thank you Prashant Bhushan for pointing this out. True, you are no Gandhi or Mandela but you are an inspiring figure for us for having stood up in crucial times.
#NotContemptMyLords There would have been no Azaad India without dissent. Uphold the rights of #PrashantBhushan who has the moral High Ground in India and world and speaks with courage and conviction..
Prashant Bhushan’s clarion call:
“We are living through that moment in our history when higher principles must trump routine obligations, when saving the constitutional order must come before personal and professional niceties”
As they say, “If not now, when? If not us, who?”

Contempt power being used as a sledgehammer
Why are Courts helpless when institutions that need to protect the constitution and the laws show “ open contempt " for both ?
Larger issues are at stake
History will judge the Court for having let us down

#NotContemptMyLords "The second principle must be to harmonise the constitutional values of free criticism, the fourth estate included, and the need for a fearless curial process and its presiding functionary, the judge," V. Krishna Iyer (Mulgaokar, SC, 1978)
#NotContemptMyLords "In contempt jurisdiction, silence is a sign of strength since our power is wide and we are prosecutor and judge," V. Krishna Iyer (S. Mulgaokar, SC 1978)
