SC Rejects Plea Seeking Electoral Bonds' Revelation Before April 2019

BY A STAFF REPORTER: In a significant move, the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea seeking revelation of electoral bonds bought and redeemed before April 12, 2019. 

While dismissing the plea, CJI DY Chandrachud replied to Solicitor General Tushar Mehta "As judges, we are only on the rule of law and work as per the Constitution. Our court is only to work for the governance of the rule of law in this polity. As judges, we are also discussed in social media but our shoulders are broad enough to take this. We are only enforcing our directions of the judgment" 

The Election Commission of India published the details of Electoral Bonds on Thursday which was submitted by the SBI after the Supreme Court's order on March 11. Furthermore, the details revealed that Future Gaming and Hotel Services along with Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. Are among the top donors to prominent political parties. The political parties that received the funding are BJP, INC, AIADMK, TMC, TDP and others. However, the SBI has yet to disclose a few details including the unique alphanumeric number and serial number of the bonds redeemed.
