The Supreme Court is set to hear an application from the State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday, seeking an extension until June 30 to disclose details of each electoral bond encashed by political parties before the scheme s recent cancellation.
The court ruled that voters’ right to information is far too important to be curtailed on the pretext of privacy or checking black money in electoral finance.
A day after the Supreme Court struck down the electoral bonds scheme - on grounds it violated citizens' right to information - the government has said it is "studying" the order and had not yet decided what to do next.
