Supreme Court Refuses To Set Up Probe Team In Electoral Bonds Scheme | Read

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed petitions seeking a court-monitored SIT probe - under the oversight of a retired Justice of the top court - into the sale of (now banned) electoral bonds amid allegations of "quid pro quo" arrangements between political parties and corporate donors.

The court said individual grievances - referring to discrete claims of quid pro quo deals between a political party and a corporate organisation - "will have to be pursued on basis of remedies available under the law", which includes options should authorities decline to investigate specific claims.
