Today, the Supreme Court refuses an urgent hearing on a plea challenging the notifications enabling the exchange of Rs 2,000 currency notes without any requisition slip and ID proof.

A division bench of Justice Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal perused the report filed by the registry and said there is no urgency in the matter.

Supreme Court today has directed, the matter be placed before Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud after summer vacations.

The Counsel for the petitioner, Ashwini Upadhyay submitted that it was very unfortunate that the court is not taking up such an important matter.

The apex court said this is a court and not a public platform and the matter has to end somewhere.

This is for the second time that the apex court has refused an urgent hearing on the issue.

Earlier on 1st June, the Supreme court refused to list for urgent hearing Upadhyay's plea challenging the notifications and said it would not be taking up such pleas during the summer break.

The lawyer had earlier submitted that Rs 2,000 banknotes were being exchanged by criminals and terrorists without any requisition slip and ID proof such as Aadhaar.
