The Supreme Court on Monday said further hearing was required in the 2009 criminal contempt case against activist-lawyer
Prashant Bhushan and journalist Tarun Tejpal to examine whether comments on corruption against judges per se amounted to contempt or not.
A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra and comprising justices B R Gavai and Krishna Murari posted the matter for hearing on August 17.
The top court had in November 2009 issued contempt notice to Bhushan and Tejpal.
