The Supreme Court will on March 11 hear the application filed by the State Bank of India (SBI) seeking extension till June 30 to disclose details of each electoral bond encashed by political parties before the scheme was scrapped last month.
A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud will also hear a separate plea, which has sought initiation of contempt action against the SBI alleging, it "wilfully and deliberately" disobeyed the apex court's direction to submit details of the contributions made to political parties through electoral bonds to the Election Commission by March 6.
The apex court Bench, also comprising justices Sanjiv Khanna, B. R. Gavai, J. B. Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra, will assemble at 10.30 a.m. to hear the two petitions.
