In a unanimous decision with significant implications for India's democracy, the Supreme Court's five-judge Constitution bench ruled on Thursday, February 15, against the electoral bonds scheme, declaring it unconstitutional. Led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and including Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, JB Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra, the bench rejected the government's argument that citizens shouldn't have the right to know about political party funding. They found that electoral bonds violate the right to information and Article 19(1)(a), which guarantees freedom of speech and expression. Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized the importance of transparency in political party funding for making informed electoral decisions. Additionally, the court invalidated amendments to the Information Technology Act, Companies Act, and Representation of People Act as unconstitutional.
