New Delhi, Dec 20 : Punjab Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to stay the latest demonetization order putting a ceiling on the deposit of scrapped currency.
Amarinder Singh also demanded a review of the November 8 demonetization policy. He urged the apex court to treat his petition as a public interest litigation.
He said these changing rules were causing havoc when people were already facing immense hardship as a result of the currency ban.
In his petition, Amarinder Singh questioned the need to put a ceiling on the deposit of old notes when the government earlier told the people not to rush to banks as there was time until December 30 to deposit money.
