New Delhi: Observing that black money in the electoral process compromises democracy, rule of law and the process itself, the Supreme Court on Monday strongly batted for timely probes and conclusion of criminal cases relating to recovery of ill-gotten money during the elections in the country.
Issuing a slew of directions, a bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and N K Singh said "any external factors that may influence this exercise of choice have the ability to compromise the very essence of democracy".
