[Exchange of ₹2000 notes] RBI tells Delhi HC that this is a currency management excercise. The central bank reiterates that this is not demonetisation.
#DelhiHighCourt #RBI #2000Note Image
Senior Advocate Parag Tripathi made the submission as the Court was dealing with a PIL challenging the RBI notification.
The petitioner has said that RBI does not have the power to discontinue banknotes and such an order has to come from the Central government.
The Court has adjourned the case to Monday and asked the counsel to submit short notes of their submission.
Bench of CJ Satish Chandra Sharma and J Subramonium Prasad also said that they will pronounce judgement on Monday on BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay's plea who has also challenged the RBI notification to the extent that it allows exchange of notes without any proof of identity.
