New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to extend the use of demonetised ₹500 & ₹1000 notes in govt utility centres like hospitals, railway tickets etc.
Earlier, The Supreme Court had said that it may pass some orders on a plea seeking the use of demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes for some more time.
“We will see whether we can pass some orders today,” a bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice D Y Chandrachud said when senior advocate Kapil Sibal sought an interim order on the issue.
Sibal said that the use of demonetised Rs 500 notes has come to an end and some order needed to be passed.
On Thursday, the court had said that the Centre should adhere to its notification that allowed withdrawal of Rs 24,000 per week from bank accounts after demonetisation of high-value currency notes.
