"In an interview to discuss the Supreme Court’s Monday order to the State Bank of India on the electoral bonds issue and whether this represents a new assertiveness on the part of the top Court, one of the Supreme Court’s most illustrious former judges has said: 'It is a slap on the Bank’s face' adding 'the Bank has been put in its place'. Justice Madan Lokur said 'the SBI cut a very sorry figure in Court' and it’s 'pretty badly embarrassed'. Justice Lokur said he does not recall any other case in his years as a Supreme Court and High Court judge where a major public sector bank has been so strongly rebuked by a Court."
