In a recent episode of "Dialogue," Mr. Sujit Nair converses with Commodore Lokesh Batra about the recent ruling by the Supreme Court of India declaring the Electoral Bonds scheme unconstitutional. The scheme, which previously provided anonymity to financial contributions to political parties, along with amendments allowing unlimited political donations by wealthy corporations, was deemed unconstitutional and arbitrary by the Supreme Court. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, leading a five-judge Bench, delivered a unanimous judgment stating that the electoral bonds scheme and associated amendments to various acts violated the voters' right to information regarding political funding as per Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. The apex court directed the State Bank of India to cease the issuance of electoral bonds immediately.
