Legal Ruling on Cryptocurrency in Orissa High Court

The Orissa High Court made a groundbreaking judgment regarding cryptocurrency, stating that it does not fall under the category of 'money' in the existing financial laws. The verdict was delivered by Justice Sasikanta Mishra in a case where two individuals were accused of running a multi-level marketing scam using a fake cryptocurrency business called 'Yes World Token.' The accused lured investors into their scheme with promises of high returns through a network-building strategy. However, Justice Mishra's ruling clarified that dealing in cryptocurrency itself is not illegal and does not violate the Odisha Protection of Interests of Depositors Act. The judge highlighted the lack of evidence of fraudulent activities or misappropriation of funds from investors. Transactions involving crypto wallets were conducted, securing investments in individual trust accounts rather than directly sending funds to the accused. This distinction led to the dismissal of cheating charges under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. Additionally, traditional financial crime charges like forgery were deemed unsubstantiated due to the absence of document falsification or manipulation. Cryptocurrencies, with their encryption technology, serve as digital currencies and virtual accounting systems, challenging legal norms globally. This ruling emphasizes the complexities and opportunities associated with cryptocurrencies, signifying a crucial moment in how these technologies are viewed and regulated in the country.
