New Delhi, Jan 31: The Delhi high court on Wednesday asked the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to examine the new currency notes and coins, saying the visually-impaired were facing hardship in identifying and using them.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar told the Centre and the RBI that they should examine the new currency notes of Rs 200 and Rs 50 denominations as visually-impaired people were finding it difficult to use them due to their size and the tactile marks.
"This issue is something which needs to be resolved among yourselves. You (government, RBI and the petitioner here) sit together and sort it out," the bench said, adding that it is difficult for the visually-impaired to identify them, also due to the change of size of these notes.
