The Supreme Court on Tuesday (Nov 15) refused to stay the Indian government's notification demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes but asked the administration it to spell out the steps taken to minimise public inconvenience.


'We will not be granting any stay,' a bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and D Y Chandrachud said.

The remarks were made after some advocates insisted on a stay.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for one of the petitioners, however, said he was not asking for a stay on the notification but seeking answers from the government about the steps taken to remove public inconvenience.

The bench asked Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi to file an affidavit about the measures already undertaken by the government and the RBI to minimise public inconvenience and also the steps likely to be undertaken in future.

Without issuing any notice to the Centre or the RBI, the bench posted the matter for further hearing on November 25.
