Communist Party Of India Marxist vs Dinesh Kumar Khara

The Supreme Court declared the Electoral Bond Scheme and amendments to the Finance Act 2017 unconstitutional, ruling that non-disclosure of political party funding violates citizens' right to information under Article 19(1)(a) and is arbitrary under Article 14. The Court mandated the State Bank of India to disclose details of Electoral Bonds purchased and redeemed from April 12, 2019, to February 15, 2024, and directed the Election Commission of India to publish this information. The Court also ordered the cessation of Electoral Bond issuance and set deadlines for compliance.
