Supreme Court refuses urgent hearing against High Court order on Rs 2000 notes exchange

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday declined urgent hearing on a plea challenging the Delhi High Court’s May 29 judgement allowing exchange of Rs 2,000 currency notes without any identification.

A bench comprising Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and K.V. Viswanathan told advocate Ashwini Upadhyay, appearing-in-person, the court is not taking up these kinds of cases during vacation and “you can always make a mention to the chief (Chief Justice of India)”.

Upadhyay submitted that all the kidnappers, gangsters, drug smugglers, etc., are exchanging their money and according to media reports in last one week Rs 50,000 crore have been exchanged and urged the court to grant urgent hearing in the matter.
