The Supreme Court has once again reprimanded SBI in the electoral bond case. The Supreme Court reprimanded SBI for giving incomplete information and asked why SBI has not yet disclosed the unique ID number despite the order of the higher court? Meanwhile, CJI Chandrachud advised senior lawyer Mukul Rohatgi not to argue.
Supreme Court directed SBI
The Supreme Court reprimanded SBI and asked it to provide all the information related to electoral bonds by March 21. In the new order, the Supreme Court also ordered disclosure of unique bond numbers that link the bond buyer to the political party providing the funds. The Supreme Court said that by 5 pm on March 21, the SBI Chairman should also file an affidavit that he has given all the information. The bench of CJI Chandrachud said that SBI cannot be selective while disclosing information. Don't wait for our order for this.
CJI said that SBI wants us to tell them whom to disclose, then they will tell. This attitude is not right. Due to lack of unique number of the bond, the court had issued a notice to State Bank of India on March 16 and sought its reply by March 18. The court has also directed the Election Commission to immediately upload the information received from SBI. Let us tell you that in the decision of March 11, the bench had directed to give complete information about SBI. However, SBI provided information only about those who purchased and encashed the bonds. The amount given by each donor to which political party was not disclosed.
