NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court questioned the Centre on Thursday on the way it had handled the aftermath of demonetisation and asked why there was unequal distribution of new currency notes among people.

Indirectly pointing towards recent raids in which people were caught with stash of new notes, a bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said that demonetisation had resulted in a "problem of extreme", with a few people managing to get plenty of notes while others struggled to get a single one.

The court was also of the view that scrapped currency notes should be allowed to be used by people to access basic necessities of life. It said the old notes should be accepted in government hospital so that people could avail medical facilities. "What is your apprehension if government hospitals are allowed to accept scrapped notes? Why should people suffer if you are not able to supply new notes to them?" the bench asked and reserved its order.

Attorney general Mukul Rohatgi said that the inconvenience faced by people would soon be over and the court should not pass an interim order for use of scrapped currency.
