Did not authorise letter on electoral bonds to President Murmu, says Supreme Court Bar Association

The Supreme Court Bar Association on Tuesday clarified that it has not authorised Adish Aggarwala, the association’s president, to write to President Droupadi Murmu urging her not to enforce the Supreme Court’s electoral bond verdict.

In a letter to Murmu earlier on Tuesday, Aggarwala had urged Murmu to put the top court’s judgement on hold till the matter is heard once again by the court.

“The Supreme Court should not allow itself to deliver judgments that would create constitutional stalemate, undermine the majesty of the Parliament of India, the collective wisdom of the people’s representatives gathered in the Parliament and create a question mark over the very democratic functioning of political parties themselves,” Aggarwala’s letter said.
