casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court clarified its 16.02.2026 order closing a suo moto action on unlicensed money lending. The Court held that existing statutory bars under State Money Lending Laws against unlicensed lending and the "Dam Dupat" doctrine remain enforceable and operative. Courts must dismiss proceedings by unlicensed money lenders unless they produce a license or prove no interest was charged; investigations and appellate remedies may proceed independently of awaited legislation. The miscellaneous application was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
