CJI: Is it not liable to say give rise to kickbacks or legalising kickbacks? It's a question. Not a hypothesis. In the earlier scheme, a person collects 50 cr. He's not gonna deposit 50 cr in the coffers of the party. He has his share in that.

CJI: Now it goes to the party, doesn't go to the individual. That's the benefit. The party gets it as opposed to the individual. We have no way of knowing whether this is legalising the motive for the in flow of the fund.

CJI: We got your point. Your case is that this is the political system whether you like it or not. We're atleast trying to improve it. The fact that we succeed or not doesn't reach out to the constitutional validity of it.
