The court gave the direction during the hearing of a petition filed by Kallettumkara Service Cooperative Bank.

The petitioner bank contended they should be allowed to exchange and receive notes as they were also functioning under the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act.

Directing the Centre to clarify its stand on the issue, Justice PB Suresh Kumar posted the matter to November 16 for further hearing.
