GULAB SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in Civil Appeal No. 968 of 2008, affirming the Delhi High Court's decision which rejected the appellant's writ petition for recovery of Rs. 80,000 based on currency notes deposited under the High Denomination Bank Notes (Demonetisation) Ordinance, 1978. The Court noted that the earlier writ petition was filed by the appellant's brother in a personal capacity, and the appellant could pursue his claim in a separate partition suit. The Court held that no interference was warranted as the appellant retains the right to assert his claims in the ongoing suit.
