I think I need to clarify. 1. I copied a Times of India article about a pending case in Mumbai by the NAB regarding coins etc.
2. The Bombay High Court Judges were informed by RBI that they are waiting for a Report. 3. This is the report on which amar and George have worked as a part of the Delhi High Court matter. 4. So the Bombay High Court matter will rely on this report. I have explained to Amar how it will really work. 5. We cannot do anything further at this stage unless this report is bad. It is currently out of our hands and no point in now commenting. 6. What the newspaper article also said was that the Bombay Court has asked for a report on the ap for recognising currency. So I presumed that it is referring to Mani. 7. Only Harish has commented about this Ap. If we have to help this matter and ourselves then we must do a proper evaluation and send it to the NAB or If NAB India is on this list then they can pick it up and give good information to their lawyer.

All of them are distinctly different to both see and touch. The problem is that the RBI or whoever else responsible have not bothered to withdraw the old coins. Thus the scenario becomes more chaotic.

Kanchan Read the report below ‘Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind’ [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Mumbai : Bombay high court said the Reserve Bank of India must consider an expert committee’s suggestions and recommendations for making currency notes and coins friendly for the visually challenged. “It is high time the Reserve Bank of India considers it,’’ said Acting Chief Justice Sanjay Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne on May 3. They heard a 2019 PIL by National Association for the Blind (NAB) to direct RBI to introduce “blind-friendly” currency notes/coins as the new currency and coins are difficult to distinguish on touch. In September 2022, RBI said Delhi HC had constituted a committee. On May 3, RBI’s advocateDhaval Patil said the report had not yet been tabled. “There cannot be any dispute that the currency and mints have to be disabled user-friendly,’’ they said. They noted that after the PIL was filed, RBI came out with some measures and introduced coins that are “visually impaired friendly” and a mobile application. Advocate Uday Warunjikar, for NAB, said there are some issues with operating the app with regard to volume and the app does not work in crowded places and on trains and buses. “Respondent (RBI) certainly has to take steps so that the visually impaired persons can distinguish the currency. In fact, as the committee was already appointed, we are waiting for that report, because the same would be the suggestions and /or recommendations ofthe experts,” they said. The judges directed that no sooner the report is received, it must be submitted to the court or else they proceed with the matter on the basis of petition and replies as “the matter cannot be adjourned in perpetuity”. They also sought a reply on the shortcomings in the app and posted the hearing on June 23, “as a last chance for the responden -- Disclaimer: 1.
