Petitioner gave 5 big arguments
- The RBI has no independent power under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 to demonetise notes of any denomination.
- The power to discontinue or issue notes rests only with the Central Government under Section 24(2) of the RBI Act, 1934.
- The RBI notification dated May 19, 2023 does not say that the Central Government has taken a decision to withdraw Rs 2000 notes under Section 24(2) of the RBI Act, 1934.
- The Central Government has not yet issued any notification regarding the withdrawal of the Rs 2000 denomination from circulation.
- The RBI governor argues that the estimated life span of 2000 notes is about 4-5 years, so other notes should also have the same life span.
