#SupremeCourt hears the plea to bar political parties from promising #freebies to the electorate

Adv Ashwini Upadhyay: Three judges are required to take a re look at the Subhramanium Balaji judgment

Adv Shadan Farasat:. This is a politically motivated plea
Upadhyay: First is relook and another request is to form a committee to have a standard manifesto...

CJI: Let this thing be done in a proper way. Let the entire matter be considered by a three judges bench.
Upadhyay: We are proposing a committee under the secretarial guidance of the Chief Election Commissioner and with members from the finance commission etc
#Freebies
Upadhyay: There is no standard format of the manifesto

CJI: we will list the matter before a three judges bench. Once there is a reference order it has to be looked into by a three judge bench
CJI: Considering the nature of controversy and submissions made, in our view let matter be listed as early as possible before three judges. Let paper be placed before CJI #freebies
Corrigendum: The argument that it was a politically motivated plea and need not be heard urgently was made by Senior Advocate @PWilsonDMK.
