The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to appraise it of the points of reference made to the Law Commission for suggesting plausible changes in legislations to ensure de-criminalisation of politics.
Justices R.M. Lodha and Shiva Kirti Singh asked Additional Solicitor General Paras Kuhad, appearing for the Centre, to file a copy of reference made to the law panel within two weeks.
The court was hearing a PIL filed by NGO Public Interest Foundation, which is seeking a ban on persons, charged with criminal offences, from contesting polls.
