Supreme Court Junks Plea Seeking Enquiry Into Frauds In Kisan Credit Card System
NDTV
The top court was hearing a petition filed by advocate Chandra Shekhar Mani contending the Centre has failed to protect the rights of the farmers.
The Supreme Court has rejected a plea for a pan India enquiry into alleged financial frauds in the working of the Kisan Credit Card system for farmers with the connivance of bank officials, saying such a probe was not possible based on "general allegations" levelled by the petitioner.
A bench of Justices SK Kaul and Aravind Kumar, however, granted liberty to the petitioner to approach the Reserve Bank of India with his grievances.
"It is not possible under Article 32 of the Constitution of India to hold some kind of an enquiry on the general allegations made by the petitioner, and the petitioner should know better before proceeding with the matter as he is a man well versed with the law being a qualified lawyer.
"We are thus not inclined to exercise jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution of India but it is open to the petitioner to make a representation with the concerned Ministry by giving details in respect of what he claims to be the financial frauds in the working of the Kisan Credit Card System," the bench said.
