Reportedly, the Supreme Court has rejected the petition for specific regulations on cryptocurrency in India
The petitioner, Manu Prashant Wig, currently faces fraud allegations related to enticing individuals to invest in his crypto exchange
According to the court, this petition lacked genuine public interest and was a well-planned attempt by Wig to secure bail in his ongoing criminal proceedings
Additionally, the Supreme Court clarified that it does not have the authority to direct the legislature to create or repeal laws
For a considerable period, the Indian government has remained indecisive on crypto regulation
