 Supreme Court assures listing of plea for SIT probe into electoral bonds data

Several firms which were under investigation by Central agencies such as the CBI, ED and the I-T Department have donated large sums of money to the ruling party, potentially to influence outcomes of probes, the petition has said

 

The Supreme Court on May 14 assured advocate Prashant Bhushan that a petition to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate each instance of quid pro quo, corruption and kickbacks revealed through the disclosure of details of the electoral bonds will be listed soon for hearing.

Justice Sanjiv Khanna, before whom Mr. Bhushan made an oral mentioning for early listing, said the petition was before the Chief Justice of India, who would allot a date and a Bench for it.
