Supreme Court Dismisses Request Challenging RBI Move On Exchange Of Rs 2,000 Notes

Mr Upadhyay said the Rs 2,000 banknotes are being exchanged without any requisition slip and ID proof like Aadhaar card by criminals and terrorists also.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain an appeal challenging the Delhi High Court verdict dismissing a PIL against the RBI notification permitting exchange of Rs 2,000 currency notes without any requisition slip and ID proof, saying it is an executive policy decision.

A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha dismissed the appeal filed by lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay in his personal capacity.

"This is the matter of executive policy decision," the bench said while dismissing the appeal.
