New Delhi, November 18
Former Army Chief VK Singh today tendered an “unconditional apology” to the Supreme Court for making certain remarks on its order over age row, saying he had no intention to bring disrepute to the institution and judges, who are like “demigods”.

Singh, who was rapped by the court for “scandalising” the court and attributing motives to its verdict, said he had “highest respect” for the judiciary, particularly the apex court.

“I have the highest respect for the judiciary particularly this Hon'ble Court. Inspite of occasional criticism reported in isolated cases, I firmly believe the judges are Demigods compared to other departments of our public life.

“To attribute unworthy or illegitimate motives to the judges who dealt with my withdrawn petition on February 10, 2012 was far from my mind. I hold them in high respect and I hereby tender an unqualified apology,” said General Singh in his reply to the court. — PTI
