AMN /
The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a fresh plea of Centre seeking a stay on the proceedings before various high courts and other courts except the apex court against its decision to demonetise high denomination currency notes of 500 and 1,000.
The bench agreed to the contention of Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, that proceedings in various courts except the apex court on the issue will create a lot of confusion.
The bench said the matter will be heard by another bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur which is hearing a batch of PILs against the Centre’s demonetisation move.
The apex court, on Tuesday refused to stay the government’s demonetisation notification but asked it to spell out the steps taken to minimise public inconvenience.
