CJI Chandrachud: “Financial support to politicians may reciprocate. ”
CJI Chandrachud: “Election budget is not the only way to stop black money. “There are other options.”
CJI Chandrachud: “Not all donations are for civil rights reform. Students, daily betting and other activities. There is no right to deny special protection to political aid just because some of the aid is used for other purposes. "
