An electoral bond is a financial instrument for making donations to political parties. According to the Electoral Bond Scheme, 2018, it is a bond issued in the nature of a promissory note, which shall be bearer in character. A bearer instrument is one which does not carry the name of the buyer or payee, no ownership information is recorded and the holder of the instrument (i.e. political party) is presumed to be its owner.
The scheme allows individuals, who are citizens of India, and domestic companies to donate these bonds — issued in multiples of Rs 1,000, Rs 10,000, Rs 1 lakh, Rs 10 lakh, and Rs 1 crore — to political parties of their choice. The Supreme Court of India on February 15, 2024, struck down the electoral bonds scheme for anonymous funding to political parties as “unconstitutional”.
Selective Amnesia OR just plain Alzheimer’s?
Gogoi may have forgotten all the judgements he n his bench delivered-againt LAW/Constitution n tradition of SEALED COVERS
Gogoi brought disrepute to the judiciary , not that others are any better , but you expect your honors to be above board .In a normal corruption , gratification is given first and the work is done after .If the corrupt do the bidding first and the gratification follows later ,cause and effect is reversed in chronology thus making the link unclear and bit tenuous . India is ranked by transparency international quite low in the corruption Index , Somebody is corrupt in India , one now has to leave it to the faithful to determine who it is ?
GoGoi-ngGone!!
Another one bites the dust!
Funny that he remembers the black sheep in the judiciary though, whom he citesd to justify his presence in the Rajya Sabha! Of course, one must give credit where it’s due.. selective amnesia, thick skin and picking the side with power – he seems to be a natural politician!
I wonder if he remembers his own statement about post retirement benefits influencing judgements! ?
So why are you always lurking around this space reading those “crooks masked as journalists”, and writing comments, which don’t change a single mind? Why are you diminishing yourselves so much?
Justice Gogoi is right. He has a right to choose his post retirement occupation or position which is his fundamental right under the constitution. Nomination is a recognition of his valued service to the Society which we should have courage to accept with humility. Those criticising his nomination have stooped very low . This reflect their sickness of mind .
CJ Mr Gogoi said that Kapil sibal wanted his help to impeach CJI Mr Mishra is not even mentioned in your article.Out of so many things said by him only that he did not remember electoral bonds matter is given prominence.In anothher article shekhar gupta said journalists are very respected in India.He is mistaken They are held as one of most unethical professionals in India..This article about Mr Gogoi again proves it
You are referring to crooks masked as journalists – plenty of them in ThePrint.. They wear mask of journalist but bid for a particular political ideology.
