Prashant Bhushan, a lawyer convicted in contempt, said he won't apologise nor appeal for leniency and that he would accept any sentence that the court will pronounce. He also said that apologising would mean that he would deny his constitutional rights. The SC has granted 3 days of time to Bhushan and said that if Prashant Bhushan realizes his mistake then the court can adopt a very soft attitude with him. The Supreme Court said that Prashant Bhushan is granted two to three days of deferment and that he should consider his decision not to apologise
