2. Remember PM Modi told us on 8 November 2016 that the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes with the corrupt will become worthless pieces of paper. Remember the govt told the Supreme Court that it did not expect 25%-30% of the demonetised currency to be destroyed. Well... 2/n
3. They will now say money coming into banks gives us an idea of who made large deposits and we can now catch the corrupt. Ask them how many of those who made large deposits have been identified, charged & punished since December 2016.The answer is not a single one 3/n

It was submitted before the SC that the enactment of RDDB Act, 1993 & establishment of DRTs has been unable to stop the rise in NPAs. Mr. Salve chipped in with a talk on International practices.
The SC agreed. A harsh, draconian law was upheld.

It was upheld with a stated objective of "reducing" the NPAs. A lot of existing protections under laws & principles of natural justice were allowed to be trampled by banks and financial institutions to address the pressing need of 'reducing the 1 lac crores of NPAs'.
