Venugopal said that Bhushan has expressed regret in the 2009 contempt case initiated against him for his remarks that past CJIs were corrupt. “Perhaps if he expresses regret in this case as well, then Your Lordships should forgive him. So what should we do now?” asked Justice Mishra, who is heading the three-judge SC bench. The bench pointed out that the A-G himself had filed a contempt of court case against Bhushan for a remark that he had misled the court in a case. A-G maintained that Bhushan should express regret and the court should close the case.
