最高法院說，印度的比特幣交易類似於運營“霍瓦拉商業的精緻方式”。

印度最高法院週一說，印度的比特幣交易類似於經營“聖哈拉（Hawala）業務的精緻方式”。這一聲明是在Shailesh Babulal Bhatt提出的保釋申請的聽證會上發表的，Shailesh Babulal Bhatt因涉嫌非法比特幣交易而被警方逮捕。

The Supreme Court of India on Monday compared Bitcoin trading in the country to a "refined way of Hawala business." The apex court made this striking observation while hearing the bail application of Shailesh Babulal Bhatt, who is embroiled in a case of alleged illegal Bitcoin trading.

印度最高法院週一將該國的比特幣貿易與“哈瓦拉商業的精緻方式”進行了比較。最高法院在聽到Shailesh Babulal Bhatt的保釋申請時進行了驚人的觀察，該申請被指控涉嫌非法比特幣交易。

The case was being heard by a bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh.

大法官Surya Kant和N Kotiswar Singh的大法官正在審理此案。

As the bail application came up for hearing, the apex court expressed its displeasure with the Centre for its lack of response regarding a clear regulatory framework for virtual currencies.

當保釋申請出現聆訊時，最高法院對該中心表示不滿，因為它缺乏對虛擬貨幣的明確監管框架的反應。

This observation came after the apex court had, two years ago, asked the government to clarify its stance on Bitcoin trading and the regulation of virtual currencies.

這一觀察結果是在兩年前最高法院要求政府澄清其對比特幣交易和虛擬貨幣規範的立場之後。

However, despite repeated requests from the bench, the Centre has failed to provide a response.

但是，儘管替補席上反复要求，但中心仍未提供回應。

"If there was some regulation, then there would be no problem in Bitcoin trading. But there is no regulation. It is a new way of doing Hawala business in a very refined manner. They (government) keep mum. They don't respond. They are not concerned with what is happening," Justice Surya Kant said.

“如果有一定的法規，那麼比特幣交易就沒有問題。但是沒有法規。這是一種以非常精緻的方式從事哈瓦拉業務的新方式。他們（政府）保持媽媽。他們沒有回應。他們不關心正在發生的事情，”法官蘇里亞·康德（Surya Kant）說。

The bench further noted that if there was no regulatory system, then it was bound to cause problems.

替補席進一步指出，如果沒有監管系統，則必然會引起問題。

"I don’t understand much about Bitcoin but they (government) are not able to put up any regulations.

“我對比特幣的了解不多，但他們（政府）無法制定任何法規。

They (government) are not able to take a stand. Is it legal or illegal? They (government) don't know. How can they (government) be in government if they don't know what is legal and what is illegal?" Justice Surya Kant added.

他們（政府）無法立場。是合法還是非法？他們（政府）不知道。如果他們不知道什麼是合法，什麼是非法的，他們（政府）怎麼能進入政府？ ”蘇里亞·康德法官補充說。

Earlier, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the applicant, submitted that trading in Bitcoin was not illegal in India.

早些時候，為申請人出現的高級倡導者穆庫爾·羅哈特吉（Mukul Rohatgi）提出，在印度，比特幣交易不是非法的。

Pointing out that the case arose out of an FIR registered by the ED, Rohatgi said that the apex court had already quashed the RBI circular which had imposed restrictions on cryptocurrency transactions.

羅哈特吉（Rohatgi）指出，該案是由ED登記的FIR引起的，他說，最高法院已經撤銷了對加密貨幣交易施加限制的印度儲備銀行通告。

Highlighting the enormity of Bitcoin's value and the fact that it was being traded in several foreign countries, Rohatgi said that the value of one BTC was ₹82 lakh on Sunday.

羅哈特吉（Rohatgi）強調了比特幣價值的巨大價值以及它在幾個外國進行交易的事實，他說，一個BTC的價值在周日為820萬盧比。

However, Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Gujarat government and the ED, said that the case went beyond the issue of Bitcoin trade.

但是，為古吉拉特邦政府和急診室出現的其他副檢察長艾希瓦婭·巴蒂（Aishwarya Bhati）說，該案超出了比特幣貿易的問題。

Bhati told the apex court that the case involved other aspects of criminal activity, such as fraudulent transactions, which were linked to Bhatt's alleged involvement in illegal activities.

巴蒂告訴最高法院，該案涉及犯罪活動的其他方面，例如欺詐性交易，這些交易與巴特所謂的非法活動有關。

Bhatt, who was arrested on August 14, 2024, is currently in custody. He is challenging the Gujarat High Court's February 25 ruling, which denied him bail in the case.

巴特（Bhatt）於2024年8月14日被捕，目前正在拘留中。他正在挑戰古吉拉特高等法院2月25日的裁決，該裁決否認了他在此案中的保釋。

The apex court is also hearing a case where multiple FIRs were registered against an individual who was accused of duping investors by inducing them to trade Bitcoin with promises of high returns.

最高法院還審理了一個案件，該案件是針對一個被指控欺騙投資者誘使他們以高回報承諾交易比特幣來欺騙投資者的個人的案件。

In January 2024, the Centre told the apex court that it had not yet determined how to control cryptocurrencies and deal with crimes related to them.

2024年1月，該中心告訴最高法院，尚未確定如何控制加密貨幣並處理與之相關的犯罪。

Also, on February 25, 2022, the apex court had asked the Centre to clarify if the trading of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin was legal in India.

另外，在2022年2月25日，最高法院要求該中心澄清像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣交易在印度是否合法。

The apex court has now ordered the Gujarat government and the ED to respond to Bhatt’s bail plea within ten days. The matter will now be heard again on May 19, 2025.

最高法院現在已下令古吉拉特邦政府和急診署在十天內回應巴特的保釋請求。現在將在2025年5月19日再次聽到此事。
