New Delhi. The Supreme Court has sought a report from its Registry on the issue of urgent listing of a petition challenging the notifications to exchange Rs 2,000 notes without slips and identity cards (ID).
Petitioner advocate Ashwini Upadhyay has appealed for an urgent hearing in the matter. After this, a vacation bench of Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Rajesh Bindal issued this order. Earlier, on June 1, the top court had refused to hear Upadhyay’s petition challenging these notifications for urgent hearing. The bench had said that it would not hear such petitions during summer vacations.
Upadhyay on Wednesday said that the issue is very important as Maoists, terrorists and separatists are changing Rs 2,000 notes and as per media reports, notes worth Rs 80,000 crore have been changed so far. Can’t go on the news. You mention it on Friday. In the meantime, we will see the report of the registry.

Banks have returned Rs 50,000 crore worth of notes of other denominations to customers in exchange for notes of that denomination. Upadhyay had filed an appeal in the apex court against the May 29 judgment of the Delhi High Court.
In this petition, he challenged the notification of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the State Bank of India (SBI) to replace the Rs 2,000 bank note without any documents. announced its withdrawal. These notes can be deposited in the bank account or exchanged for lower denomination notes till September 30. However, Rs 2,000 notes continue to be legal tender.
