'Publish Details Of Criminal Cases Against Candidates': SC To Political Parties | ABP Uncut

Taking cognisance of rise in criminalisation in politics, the Supreme Court on Thursday directed political parties to upload details of criminal cases against poll candidates on their websites and also list out the reasons for selecting them.

The court passed orders on a contempt plea which raised the issue of criminalisation of politics claiming that directions given by the apex court in its September 2018 verdict relating to disclosure of criminal antecedents by candidates are not being followed.
