The High Court on Friday refused to hear a PIL seeking directions to the Union government to withdraw the decision of declaring Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes invalid.
The petitioner, Mohammed Haroon Rasheed, challenging the government's decision, said the sudden decision by the government to eradicate black money and fake currency in the market has affected the common man. He contended that people are waiting in front of banks everyday unable to attend to their work and affecting their daily life.
A division bench, comprising Chief Justice S K Mukherjee and Justice R B Budihal, rejecting the petitioner's contentions, appreciated the Union government's decision on demonetisation. The Union government has done a good job in enforcing it with immediate effect, the bench observed.
