Advocate Prashant Bhushan mentions the applications filed in the #ElectoralBonds case before a CJI SA Bobde led bench

@pbhushan1 : New set bonds to be issued from April 1 for coming elections.
Bhushan: We need our case to be heard urgently. @ECISVEEP has said these bonds allow illegal funds to be diverted to shell companies.

CJI: wasn't the stay request rejected

Bhushan: No per se. Election Commission says bonds are detrimental to our democracy
CJI: We will list this next Friday

Bhushan: bonds are slated to be released on April 1

CJI: It won't be April 1 by Friday. Mr Tushar Mehta we are going to grant circulation. He says you will delay by asking time to reply

SG Mehta: You can list on Wednesday. AG will appear.
CJI: I am sure you will find time for this.

Bhushan: Regarding Rohingyas Jammu police says detained ones will be deported. Detention is illegal and if they are deported then they face genocide. We have filed an application

CJI: give the slip. Next Friday
SG: all facts are wrong that Mr Bhushan is saying but I cannot oppose circulation

CJI: let us list it next Friday. Let's space out heavy matters. That kind of urgency is not there in Rohingyas case

Bhushan: they may be deported and now Myanmar has military government.
CJI: okay then we will hear the Rohingya matter on Thursday

@pbhushan1 : Very well
