The post Delhi High Court Refuses to Regulate Crypto Exchanges in India<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

India\u2019s Delhi High Court has refused to regulate cryptocurrency exchanges<\/a> in India, making it clear that creating crypto laws is the government\u2019s responsibility. The decision came after a crypto investor filed a case against Indian exchange Bitbns, asking the court to introduce regulations and order an investigation into withdrawal issues.<\/p>\n

This ruling shows that India still does not have clear crypto laws, leaving investors to depend on existing legal systems. <\/p>\n

Delhi High Court Rejects Investor\u2019s Plea Against Bitbns<\/h2>\n

The case was filed by investor Rana Handa, who accused Bitbns of restricting withdrawals and manipulating asset values. Handa claimed he invested \u20b914.22 lakh ($15,637) in 2021 and faced withdrawal limits, and later the platform showed the incorrect value of his Bitcoin holdings in 2025.<\/p>\n

After filing a cybercrime complaint and receiving no response, he approached the Delhi High Court seeking regulatory action and a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.<\/p>\n

He accused Bitbns of financial mismanagement and asked the court to order a probe and introduce stricter crypto rules.<\/p>\n

However, Justice Purushaindrakumar Kaurav dismissed the petition,<\/a> stating that cryptocurrency exchanges are private entities and do not qualify as \u201cState\u201d under constitutional law. <\/p>\n

Because of this, the court cannot create new regulations or order investigations without proper legal authority. Thus, the court advised the investor to use normal legal channels, such as police complaints or civil courts.<\/p>\n
