SC: No urgent hearing on plea against RBI decision on exchange of Rs 2,000 notes

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday refused urgent hearing on a plea challenging the notifications enabling exchange of Rs 2,000 currency notes without any requisition slip and ID proof. A vacation bench of justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal perused the report filed by the registry, and said there is no urgency in the matter. The top court directed that the matter be placed before Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud after summer vacations. The petitioner advocate Ashwini Upadhyay submitted that it was very unfortunate that the top court is not taking up such an important matter. The apex court said this is a court and not a public platform and the matter has to end somewhere. This is second time that the apex court has refused an urgent hearing on the issue. Upadhyay had earlier submitted that Rs 2,000 banknotes were being exchanged by criminals and terrorists without any requisition slip and ID proof such as Aadhaar.
