The government of India has been wary of cryptocurrencies and for a good reason. The number of scams reported from India has been the government agenda. However, in the latest turn of events, a two-member bench has demanded the Indian government to produce the cryptocurrency regulations for the country within one month.
Twitterati Crypto Kanoon and Suparteek Bose reported that the bench lead by Justice Rohinton F Nariman along with the member Vineet Saran has extended the deadline for the government one day before the hearing for the case. Indian Supreme court is supposed to hear the petition against Reserve Bank of India’s blanket ban on cryptocurrencies in the country on 26th of February 2019.
Crypto Kanoon reported on twitter that the supreme court has granted weeks to the Indian government.

Experts believe that, with the Indian Government on a timeline, the hearing on 26th of February would just be a formality and the case would move forward after the deadline passes.
Suparteek also revealed in a different tweet that in case the government fails to deliver the required rules and regulations for cryptocurrency usage in the country the court would be making a decision based on their own understanding of the matter.
