Contempt of court: Prashant Bhushan fined Re 1

The Supreme Court imposed a token fine of one rupee against activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan as punishment in the contempt case against him. Bhushan, who has been convicted for two tweets against the judiciary, has to deposit the fine by Sept 15. Failure to comply would entail a three-month jail term and debarment from law practice for three years, it said.
