In his letter dated March 14, Aggarwala highlighted concerns about the court’s directive to the Election Commission (EC) to publish information shared by the State Bank of India (SBI) on its official website by March 13. He expressed apprehensions that revealing the identities of corporate donors and the amount of donations could expose them to potential victimization.While acknowledging the importance of the Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate the electoral bonds scheme, Aggarwala emphasized the need to reconsider the directive regarding disclosure of donor information. He argued that this abrupt disclosure could adversely affect corporate donors and requested a review of the specific direction issued in the court’s verdict dated February 15, 2024.Aggarwala clarified that his request for a review was made in his personal capacity and not on behalf of the SCBA. He emphasized his roles as Chairman of the All India Bar Association, President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, and former Vice-Chairman of the Bar Council of India.Earlier, on March 12, Aggarwala had written to President Droupadi Murmu, urging her to seek a presidential reference of the apex court’s judgment in the electoral bonds scheme case before giving effect to it. He cited Article 143 of the Constitution, which confers advisory jurisdiction on the Supreme Court and empowers the President to consult the top court on questions of public importance.The SCBA had subsequently distanced itself from Aggarwala’s views, with the executive committee issuing a resolution on March 12 clarifying that his letter to President Murmu did not represent the official stance of the bar body.The Supreme Court had earlier directed the SBI to disclose details of electoral bonds encashed by political parties to the EC by March 12. Additionally, it ordered the EC to publish the information shared by the bank on its official website by March 15. The EC complied with this directive by posting the data on electoral bonds on its website a day before the deadline.The matter is set to be discussed further on March 18, as the bench headed by the CJI considers the plea of the Election Commission seeking modification of the court’s earlier order in the electoral bonds case.
