The Supreme Court on Monday, 2 January 2023, upheld the demonetisation move taken by the central government as valid and said that it cannot be struck down.
The constitutional bench that delivered the ruling comprised Justices S Abdul Nazeer, BR Gavai, AS Bopanna, V Ramasubramanian, and BV Nagarathna.
Four out of five judges upheld the move, with Justice Nagarathna dissenting.
