Centres plea has been reserved by SC that "no other court in the country should entertain petitions relating to demonetising Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes"

While hearing Centre’s plea for seeking a direction that no other court in the country should entertain petitions challenging the November 8 notification demonetising Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes and any matter relating to challenge to the demonetisation issue be heard by the apex court only.
Supreme Court expressed sympathy for citizens said it is a serious issue that the long queues outside banks and post offices and expressed its reservation on the Centre’s plea.
Bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice A R Dave said, “People are affected. People are frantic. People have the right to approach the courts.”
To which AG said there is no dispute, but the queues are getting shorter and even suggested that the CJI can go out during lunch and himself look at the queue. Countering the argument, Kapil Sibal took objection. “It’s a political attempt in the court. I have seen your (Sibal’s) press conference also. You are not appearing for a political party, but for an advocate. You are turning the apex court into a political platform,” Rohatgi said.
The AG further said that after printing, the currency has to be moved to thousands of centres across the country and ATMs have to be re-calibrated.
Now, SC reserves the plea for consideration.
