Dear Client,
I understand your intent to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Supreme Court of India concerning the interpretation of the statement printed on Indian 10-rupee banknotes—"I promise to pay the bearer a sum of 10 rupees on demand at any office of issue." This case involves examining the legal nature of fiat money, contractual obligations implied by the note, and the Reserve Bank of India's authority regarding monetary policies. Using old banknotes as evidence strengthens the argument about their non-expiry status and contractual validity.
Given the complexities surrounding monetary law, affidavits, and constitutional provisions, it’s crucial to engage a legal expert experienced in PILs, financial laws, and the Indian legal framework. I recommend consulting a Supreme Court advocate with expertise in constitutional and banking law who can draft the petition, file the affidavit, and argue the case effectively. Collaborating with a researcher well-versed in fiat money systems and historical precedents, such as the Nixon Shock, will also be instrumental in strengthening the case.
Sincerely,
Mohamed Sarfan
