New Delhi, 7 March
An NGO moved a contempt plea in the
Supreme Court on Thursday, challenging the State Bank of India's (SBI)
application seeking an extension of time till 30 June to disclose the details
of each electoral bond encashed by political parties.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY
Chandrachud took note of the submissions made by lawyer Prashant Bhushan, who
appeared in the court on behalf of NGO Association for Democratic Reforms
(ADR), that he was seeking initiation of contempt proceedings in the case.
Bhushan said the SBI's plea is
likely to be listed on 11 March and the contempt application should also be
heard together. "Please send an e-mail. I will pass the order," the
CJI said.
The SBI moved the top court on 4 March,
seeking extension of time till June 30 to disclose details of electoral bonds. In
its verdict last month, the top court directed the SBI to furnish the details
to the Election Commission (EC) by 6 March.
