Contempt of court case against Prashant Bhushan has sparked debate in the society.
While some former judges, former bureaucrats, lawyers and social activists had requested the Supreme Court to “withdraw the contempt cases against Prashant Bhushan in view of the dignity of the Supreme Court.”

131 people whose signature were in the statement issued in favour of Bhushan. Among them is former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Jasti Chelameswar, Justice Madan B. Lokur, besides former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court (retd) AP Shah, Justice (retired) Anjana Prakash Shamil of Patna High Court.
Apart from these, the signatories are historian Ramchandra Guha, writer Arundhati Roy and lawyer Indira Jaising.
