Supreme Court S Aadhaar Verdict

Justice S Abdul Nazeer, who is set to retire as a judge of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, has been part of several pathbreaking verdicts including the politically sensitive Ayodhya land dispute.

The Supreme Court has dismissed a batch of pleas seeking review of its 2018 verdict upholding the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but striking down some of its provisions, including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce on Monday its verdict on pleas seeking review of a verdict upholding the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but striking down some of its provisions, including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

The Supreme Court will take up on June 9 pleas seeking review of a verdict upholding the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but striking down some of its provisions, including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

The Kerala government on Friday claimed that 51 women between the ages of 10 and 50 have entered the Sabarimala temple since the Supreme Court's September verdict allowing women of reproductive age into the shrine. A list of names along with their age and Aadhaar details was also submitted in the court.

A review petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Monday seeking re-examination of its verdict by which the centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme was held as constitutionally valid.

The government made it clear today that it has discontinued Aadhaar-based verification of mobile phone users. It also assured those who got SIM cards based on Aadhaar eKYC, that though the Aadhaar verification process has been stopped, their SIM cards are safe and will not be discontinued.

The world's biggest repository of citizen information, India's Aadhaar database, is now beyond the private sector's reach. That was the verdict last week by the country's top court, which refused to strike down the entire biometric-based system as unconstitutional. Now only the government can use it, and that's a problem.

RS Sharma, Chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), on Wednesday welcomed the Supreme Court's judgment on Aadhaar and said he is "extremely happy" with the verdict.

The Supreme Court, which on Wednesday declared the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid, has extensively relied up on a power-point presentation made by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey to conclude that the scheme was safe.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the constitutional validity of Aadhaar and said that it empowers the marginalised sections of the society. The ruling, however, came with certain caveats with the top court mandating that the 12-digit identifier will not be required for obtaining SIM cards and opening bank accounts.

The Congress on Wednesday said it will approach the Supreme Court to reconsider the plea against passage of the legislation as a money bill, while welcoming the Supreme Court verdict striking down certain provisions of the Aadhaar scheme, terming it a "slap" on the BJP's face.

BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday mocked Congress chief Rahul Gandhi after he claimed that the Supreme Court order on Aadhaar supported his party's vision, saying, "Yes, the Congress won today, just like they won Lok Sabha Polls in 2014".

India's Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the validity of a giant and controversial government program to collect and store the biometric data of its billion-plus citizens, but placed new limits on how the data can be used and stored.

The Trinamool Congress, who had vociferously argued against linking Aadhaar number with phone connections and bank accounts, saying it was an infringement on one's Right to Privacy, welcomed Wednesday's Supreme Court verdict. "We welcome the verdict by the Supreme Court. It is a victory of the people of this country and we are very happy," West Ben...
