SC Reserves Order on Bhushan Sentence, Urged to Show Statesmanship
Dhavan then explained why he had asked for Bhushan’s statement to be read out to the court. “An apology shouldn’t be made just to get out of clutches of the court,” Dhavan suggested, adding that “an apology must be sincere.” A sincere explanation, he according to him, should be considered to fall within the term ‘apology’. “The court is not immune from criticism,” he said, noting that while one could be proud of many judgments of the court, there had been many troubling ones as well. In its order, he instead suggested that the court can express its disagreement with the things Bhushan has said, and urge Bhushan to be “a little restrained” in his criticism, and to make sure he gets his facts right. Finally, he reiterated the AG’s request for “statesmanship” by the court, and urged them not to make Bhushan “a martyr” by imposing punishment.
