On 31 August, the Supreme Court ordered lawyer Prashant Bhushan to pay a fine of Re 1 as a punishment for contempt of court. Bhushan was asked to pay the penalty by 15 September. If not, he will be imprisoned for 3 months and disbarred from practising law for 3 years. A Re 1 fine is definitely unusual and Twitter instantly jumped on the opportunity to make memes.
