Thakur, Member of Parliament from Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, was asked by the Supreme Court on 7 July to tender an apology in explicit terms to get relief from the contempt proceedings initiated against him.
The former BCCI president said in his affidavit filed on Thursday, “I humbly submit that it was never the intention of the deponent to undermine the majesty of this court and since unintentionally some kind of misinformation and miscommunication has occured, I unhesitatingly tender my unconditional and unequivocal apology to this court.”
The apex court had directed him to file a “one-page short affidavit” tendering an apology while making it clear that it was not going to consider his earlier affidavit of apology.
