SC refuses to entertain PIL against post-poll alliances by parties

“It is for the political parties to decide…we cannot control a political party. Where is the question of a court’s interference,” said the apex court as it refused to admit the petition.

The petition had challenged the legal and constituently validity of post-poll alliances among political parties, contending the electors had no idea of such a possibility when they cast their votes. It claimed that the practice was a breach of the promises made by the parties during the election campaigns and the same also violated their own manifestos.
