The Supreme Court has issued a petition seeking a response from the Centre and Election Commission of India regarding a plea demanding regulation of political parties. The petition centers on the argument that political outfits are frequently utilized to conceal illicit financial transactions. The petitioners claim recent income tax audits have revealed evidence of these practices. The court is seeking clarification on the scope of permissible regulatory measures to combat this alleged misuse of funds. The petition aims to establish legal frameworks to enhance transparency and accountability within the political landscape.
