Coalgate: SC pulls up Prashant Bhushan for remarks

The bench also said that judges have no social life and they don't interact with people socially.

"You are in public life but we are not... We don't meet socially with anyone. We are cut off from social life. I can't explain to you and you cannot even imagine that we have absolutely no social interaction except in conferences and functions where we interact and shake hands," the bench said.

Bhushan, however, apologised and said he was extremely sorry if his statements hurt the bench.

He said that he has highest regard of the court.

"It is just about perception and it requires super human powers and firmness to take a decision. Even I would have done the same thing if I had been at the lordship's place," he said.
