NEW DELHI: A contempt petition has been filed before the Supreme Court on March 7 as the State Bank of India missed the March 6 deadline to share details of electoral bonds of political parties.
The Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), which is the chief petitioner in this case, alleges that the SBI has violated the court’s orders in the electoral bonds case.
The Supreme Court had instructed the SBI to share details of electoral bonds encashed by political parties by Wednesday (March 6). SBI has requested an extension until June 30.
ADR’s plea states that SBI has willfully and deliberately disobeyed the judgment passed by the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, which not only denies citizens their right to information but also intentionally undermines the authority of the court.
