The Hindu
“Friday [October 8] is the last day [before Dussehra break]. We may not be able to take it up [for hearing],” said the Bench
The Supreme Court on October 4 said it may not be able to hear on October 8 the plea of an NGO seeking a direction to the Centre not to open any further window for sale of electoral bonds during the pendency of a case pertaining to funding of political parties and alleged lack of transparency in their accounts.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana made the observation when it was requested by lawyer Prashant Bhushan that the PIL of NGO, ‘Association for Democratic Reforms’, not be deleted from the list of matters scheduled for hearing on October 8.
“Friday [October 8] is the last day [before Dussehra break]. We may not be able to take it up [for hearing],” said the Bench which also comprised Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli.
