Only Prime Minister, President and Chief Justice to feature in ads

The Supreme Court while dealing with a petition that challenged the use of tax payers money for gaining political gains, observed that only the pictures of the Prime Minister, the President and the Chief Justice of India can feature on government advertisements and that too only after their approval. The pictures of other politicians cannot feature on advertisements showing welfare schemes  and cannot be used for political gains.
The Court had earlier warned against advertisements of birth and death anniversaries of politicians being published by political parties out of tax payers money.
The Court held that these guidelines shall remain in force till the parliament passes any law in this regard.
