Supreme Court Seeks Union's Stand Regarding Cryptocurrency
|
The Centre has told the Supreme Court it is yet to take a decision on a mechanism to regulate cryptocurrencies and effectively investigate related offences. A bench of justices Surya Kant and KV Viswanathan was told by Additional Solicitor General Vikramjit Banerjee, appearing for the Centre, that the issues related to the digital currency are continuously evolving and the government is deliberating on the mechanism to regulate the cryptocurrencies.
He sought time to file an affidavit by the next date of hearing in the case giving updated position on the mechanism."So far as the stance of the Union of India with reference to the matters of cryptocurrency arising in different states is concerned, the Additional Solicitor General of India seeks and is granted four weeks' time to file an appropriate affidavit," the bench ordered on Friday.
During the hearing, Justice Kant said the court only wants that there are appropriate safeguards to protect the common man from frauds and misuse of cryptocurrencies.
"We are not experts on what kind of currencies you should have or regulate. If there is no mechanism to regulate it, then anyone can create a currency and start transacting in it. It will be very dangerous," the bench told Banerjee.
The ASG assured that deliberations are going on but it's an evolving question and he will file an affidavit giving details of it on the next hearing of the matter.
