A technocrat-turned-public interest litigant Raghunath Shankar Kelkar has challenged the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) move to deposit 265.49 tonnes of gold out of its total stock of 557.75 tonnes abroad by filing a public interest litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court and demanded that the precious metal be brought back into the country, according to the provisions of the law.
Kelkar (56), who used to manufacture computers, has filed the petition as he found the move by the apex bank in contradiction to the section 33(5) of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934, which stipulates that 85 per cent of its gold reserves should be kept in India.
