It was not his intention to dishonor the court by breaching his own undertaking, Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik said in an affidavit to the high court.
NCP leader and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Friday tendered an unconditional apology to the Bombay High Court for making public comments about NCB official Sameer Wankhede and his family despite an assurance that he would not do so.
Senior counsel Aspi Chinoy, who appeared for Mr Malik, submitted an affidavit by the minister where he apologized for having violated the court's November 29 order.
It was not his intention to dishonor the court by breaching his own undertaking, Mr Malik said in the affidavit.
But he also contended that he made the comments in question during an interview and they were not part of social media posts, or public comments.
