印度最高法院命令政府和选举机构在4月27日前对限制政党选举开支做出回应。 India's Supreme Court orders government and election body to respond by April 27 on limiting party election spending.

最高法院已指示印度政府和选举委员会在4月27日前对一项公共利益诉讼作出反应,要求从法律上限制政党的选举开支。 The Supreme Court has directed the Indian government and Election Commission to respond by April 27 to a public interest litigation seeking a legal cap on political party election spending. 共同事业通过Prashant Bhushan律师提出的请愿书认为,虽然个别候选人面临支出限制,但政党没有这种限制,破坏公平选举,并造成不成比例的财政影响。 The petition, filed by Common Cause through advocate Prashant Bhushan, argues that while individual candidates face expenditure limits, parties have no such restrictions, undermining fair elections and enabling disproportionate financial influence. 法院的举动是因为担心资金不受管制, 包括先前在2024年裁决中取消的匿名捐款, 以及通过私人捐款规避的可能性。 The court’s move follows concerns over unregulated funding, including anonymous donations previously struck down in a 2024 ruling, and the potential for circumvention through private contributions. 此事将在通知发出后六周审理。 The matter will be heard six weeks after the notice.
