Chief Justice Supreme Court Individuals

The Supreme Court today came down hard on the State Bank of India for not sharing the complete data on electoral bonds, a scheme that allowed individuals and businesses to donate anonymously to political parties.

The Supreme Court has acted as a "people's court" and citizens should not be afraid of going to courts or view it as the last resort, Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud said on Sunday.

The Supreme Court Friday trashed the allegation that it does not hear ordinary citizens, saying it has been hearing the "voice of the nation" and individuals from Kashmir on the issue of abrogation of Article 370.
