Top Court Bar Body Chief Seeks President Intervention Over Electoral Bonds

Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) chief Adish C Aggarwala on Tuesday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu urging her to seek presidential reference of the top court judgement in the electoral bonds scheme case and not to give effect to it unless the top court has reheard the matter. Mr Aggarwala, in his letter to the president, said, “Revealing the names of corporates that had contributed to different political parties would render the corporates vulnerable for victimization. “The possibility of them being singled out by those parties that had received less contribution from them, and harassed cannot be ruled out if the names of corporates and their quantum of contributions to various parties are revealed. This will be reneging on the promise given to them while accepting their voluntary contributions.”
