On August 20, 2020, the Supreme Court of India held public interest lawyer Prashant Bhushan in contempt for two tweets that criticized the judiciary and the Chief Justice. The Court found that the tweets undermined the authority of the Supreme Court and were detrimental to public trust in the judiciary. Bhushan was fined a nominal amount of INR 1. The Court’s decision, while symbolic in its punishment, highlights the judiciary’s stance on protecting its institutional integrity and the limits it places on public criticism.
