SC refuses to stay demonetisation proceedings in other courts -Krishnadas Rajagopal

-The Hindu

The Supreme Court on Wednesday has refused to stay proceedings in cases filed in other High Courts and lower courts against the demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes.

A bench led by Chief Justice of India TS Thakur said the petitions in the various courts highlight "the different inconveniences highlighted in the various cases filed across the country, maybe some relief can be had by these people".

Earlier, the Supreme Court had refused to "shut its door" on the "frantic and affected" public.

The court allowed cash-starved co-operative banks to approach their respective High Courts for succour.

The Centre however maintained that the demonetisation policy, an exercise meant to weed out black money and cripple terror funding, is a success.

"So is it (demonetisation) a success?" Chief Justice Thakur asked Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Centre.

"No doubt. Rs. 6 lakh crore has been deposited in the banks. The banks are flush with money and lending rates will come down," Mr Rohatgi responded.

The AG said queues in front of banks and ATMS have thinned and the situation would resume normalcy in the next 20 days.

The court asked after the farmers' plight, whether they are able to buy seeds at the peak of the Rabi season.

Mr. Rohatgi informed that alternate arrangements have been made, special teams have been sent to all the States and the situation is monitored on an hourly basis.

The Supreme Court issued notice to all petitoners on a Centre's plea to transfer all the demonetisation cases in other courts to either the Supreme Court or one High Court and not have it spread in courts all over the country. The court will have hearing on this aspect on December 2.
