#SupremeCourt

#SupremeCourt

#SupremeCourt @RBI #LoanMoratoroum

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Senior Advocate Rajiv Dutta for petitioners tells the Court that compound interest is still being charged.

Dutta submits that government needs to ake its stand clear, says the restructuring of loans should have been done earlier.

#SupremeCourtOfIndia #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Salve (for IBA): Please don't pass any orders on downgradinf today because this is based onmany factors. Companies will suffer.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Salve: We were not told about this prayer earlier, had they told us this earlier we would have taken instructions.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratoroum @RBI
SC asks: But what is the problem if that is done (orders on downgrading)?

Mehta: Orders like this can have devastating consequences. We are taking a holistic view.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Salve: There was no prayer made for downgrading.

Sibal: My IA has all those pleadings and this prayer.

Mehta urges for deferment for 2 weeks, says he can reply on that, adds that this is not adversarial litigation.
Senior Advocate V. Giri for RBI: Downgrading is done on individual basis. It is important for two weeks time without interim orders.

Sibal: RBI's 2020 circular stipulates prevention of downgrading.

#SupremeCourt
@RBI
Mehta urges for deferment says the interim order that was passed earlier may be extended.

SC: That order is continuing.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Salve: This has now become adversarial. We (IBA) will file our replies within a week. We can't be told this newspaper said this and said that.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium
Rohatgi (for SBI): We thought it is not adversarial. Let us file a reply now. We are the biggest Bank

Mehta: I'm still not taking it as adversarial. Petitioners appear to be so.

#SupremeCourt
SC: On the interest issue we have yet to take a decision... But, on the aspect of debiting of interest on interest, we are inclined to pass an order that it may not be debited.

#SupremeCourt
#LoanMoratorium
@RBI
Dutta (for petitioners): we have received letters from Banks stating interest on interest will be charged.

Salve explains: Entire Banking sector functions on compounded interest

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium @RBI
Salve: Moratorium was put forth because of a lockdown... This is not Penal interest.

Bench: Compound interest is fine. But can this default interest be charged?

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium
SC to Mehta: We will grant you time, file a reply with concrete position so that the matter is not adjourned again.

Mehta: All this will be considered holistically for all sectors.

#SupremeCourt #LoanMoratorium
Supreme Court defers the hearing till September 28.

SC takes Mehta's and Giri's submission on record about placong all decisions taken by RBI and government on record for consideration.

SC says it will consider other prayers by petitioners also on next date.

#SupremeCourt @RBI

Chief Justice of India BR Gavai to shortly address the felicitation function organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).

#SupremeCourt #CJI #felicitationceremony Image
SCBA President Vikas Singh addresses the ceremony
Vikas Singh: it’s a matter of privilege for me to do this for CJI Gavai. He was very reluctant to accept this function since he felt that a better occasion will be when he demits office and I speak about what he has done for the bar and for the institution rather than speak when he’s entering office.
