The Supreme Court, in a hearing on Monday, directed the State Bank of India to furnish the details of individuals and companies who bought its electoral bonds to fund political parties by Tuesday. The court gave the order after rejecting a plea by the government-run bank seeking more time to do so. The SBI had earlier requested time till the 30th of  June to disclose details of electoral bonds encashed by political parties.

In further news from the Supreme Court, it rejected a plea by the Maharashtra government seeking a stay on the March 5 Bombay High Court order acquitting former Delhi University professor G.N. Sai Baba and others in a UAPA case over alleged Maoist links. The court noted that the acquittal of Saibaba and others was prima facie well reasoned,  as reported by the news agency PTI.

The much-anticipated Mumbai Coastal Road Project  was partially inaugurated today by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. With a cost of nearly 14 thousand crore, the 10.58 km long high-speed corridor will link Marine Drive with the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, representing the BMC’s most expensive undertaking to date. The BMC states that the coastal road will result in a 34 percent reduction in carbon footprint.
