The Supreme Court has struck down the Narendra Modi government’s electoral bonds scheme as “unconstitutional” in two separate judgments. It has asked the State Bank of India to submit the details of these bonds to the Election Commission of India which should publish it on its website by March 31.
A five-judge Constitution bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, and including Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, reserved its verdict in a set of petitions challenging the validity of the scheme on November 2 last year.
