Madras HC Closes Plea on Gold Loan and Jewellery Auction Rules
The Madras High Court has closed a plea that sought rules for gold loans and the auction of pledged jewellery. The court recorded that the Reserve Bank of India had already issued the necessary circulars. With that statement on record, the court disposed of the case.
