The Supreme Court on Friday reserved orders on the contempt petition against Congress president Rahul Gandhi even as BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi urged the Court to teach him a lesson for playing around with the SC. Gandhi had filed an unconditional apology in the Court accepting that by attributing the words 'Chowkidar Chor hai' to the Court, he made a mistake. For this he owed a public apology and for playing with the Court, he must be censured or sentenced to jail for a simple term. Since Court did not accept the terminology, it was decided to file a fresh affidavit mentioning the word apology. He urged the Court to accept his apology and close the contempt case against him.
