Appearing on the behalf of the government, Solicitor General (SG)Mohan Parasaran had earlier argued that the SIT which had been set up by the Apex Court to investigate the matter, to be headed by Justice BP Jeevan Reddy; had not been set up after Justice Reddy had declined. He stated without SIT appraisal of the information received from Germany about Indian black money stashed in the Liechtenstein bank, the names of the suspected account holders could not be divulged.
This marked the first instance when the Apex court has issued such an order, in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations which surfaced in 2013 against two former retired judges, who have both denied the allegations.

Justice Lodha became judge of the Rajasthan High Court on January 31, 1994. He was then on February 16, 1994 transferred to the Bombay High Court, where he served for 13 years. In February 2007, he was re-transferred to the Rajasthan High Court. He became Chief Justice of the Patna High Court in May 2008 and was elevated to the Supreme Court in December 2008.

Justices KS Radhakrishnan and NV Ramana favoured the petition filed by NRI doctor Shamsheer who said that staff at Indian missions abroad can cast their vote at the embassy or High Commission premises, without being physically present in the country.

The bench also asked the Election Commission to respond to their petition by Friday.
