CJI & Elections | SC Agrees to Hear PIL Against Political Parties Promising Freebies During Polls

The Supreme Court Today accelerated a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging political parties’ practice of offering freebies during elections. The PIL calls for scrutiny of this practice, urging the Election Commission to take action. It argues that such behavior violates constitutional principles, compromises the electoral process, and influences voters unfairly. This move follows the upcoming general elections in India, highlighting the issue’s significance.
