The Supreme Court rejected the review petition challenging its February 15 judgment by which the electoral bonds scheme was struck down. A Constitution Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra dismissed the review petition filed by advocate Mathews J Nedumpara. “Application for listing the review petitions in open Court is dismissed. Delay condoned. Having perused the review petitions, there is no error apparent on the face of the record. No case for review under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules 2013. The review petitions are, therefore, dismissed,” the Court said.
A petition filed today in the Supreme Court of India for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) inquiry into the recently invalidated electoral bonds scheme. Allegations include pay-for-play dynamics, potential influence on government contracts, and compromised investigative bodies. The petition stresses the need for impartial investigation supervised by a retired Supreme Court judge.
