Electoral Bonds—Assertive Supreme Court Slaps SBI On Face; Now Will it Stay Election Commission Act?

Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int... In an interview to discuss the Supreme Court’s Monday order to the State Bank of India on the electoral bonds issue and whether this represents a new assertiveness on the part of the top Court, one of the Supreme Court’s most illustrious former judges has said: “It is a slap on the Bank’s face” adding “the Bank has been put in its place”. Justice Madan Lokur said “the SBI cut a very sorry figure in Court” and it’s “pretty badly embarrassed”. Justice Lokur said he does not recall any other case in his years as a Supreme Court and High Court judge where a major public sector bank has been so strongly rebuked by a Court.
