“Let it (the order as well as the matter) come up on Friday (November 25). Then we will decide what to do and what not to do,” the bench said.
The bench’s oral observations were made during a brief hearing of a plea by Ashok Sharma, who, through his counsel A Maitri, urged the court for an interim relief on the ground that the Centre’s decision to put a cap on weekly withdrawal of Rs 24,000 is “affecting right to livelihood” of the people at large.
The counsel also told the judges that as the apex court has declined to withhold the petitions against demonetisation in different high courts, this court should give some interim order as the government may tomorrow again come out with new directives on withdrawal.
To this, the bench responded since it is not aware of the proceedings in the Supreme Court, it will wait for the copy of order.
The petitioner, a resident of Delhi, has urged the court to quash clause 2 (VI) of the notification by which conditions were imposed on withdrawal of money from bank accounts.
