The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has filed a contempt petition against the State Bank of India (SBI) in the Supreme Court for requesting an extension of time until June 30 to disclose details of each electoral bond encashed by different parties. 


"SBI has wilfully and deliberately disobeyed the judgment passed by the Constitution Bench of this Hon’ble Court, and the same not only negates the right to information of the citizens, but also wilfully undermines the authority of this Hon’ble Court," ADR said in its petition.
